Rodri - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Creates three chances Monday Rodri generated two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 0-0 draw against Cape Verde.

Impact Rodri unsurprisingly started Spain's opening match of the World Cup, completing an elite midfield alongside Fabian Ruiz and Pedri. Rodri is and was the most defensive-minded of the three, though he still had a significant attacking role considering Spain had the vast majority of possession. He created three chances -- a feat he rarely achieved with Manchester City this past season -- and took two off-target shots on the attack. He wasn't asked to do much on the defensive end, but he provided stability on that end as well. He was subbed off in the 87th minute for Nico Williams.

Impact Rodri ended a season of careful management at Manchester City, making 21 Premier League appearances for one goal across 1,514 minutes after returning from a lengthy injury absence, demonstrating his quality even with a reduced workload at the Etihad. The former Ballon d'Or winner brings a unique combination of positional intelligence, ball-winning ability and distribution that no other player in world football can replicate, and his presence in the squad gives Spain a completely different structural foundation to any other team in the tournament. Rodri heads into the World Cup as arguably the most important player in the squad and the defensive cornerstone of a Spain side with ambitions of winning the trophy for the first time since 2010.

Impact Rodri was back for a second straight start Tuesday after returning from an injury, playing the full 90. However, it appears the Spaniard is still trying to get back to fitness, appearing to be tiring as the match went on. He recorded a solid four shots and two chances created in the draw, but not enough to pull off the win.

65 minutes during return Rodri registered one shot in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win over Chelsea.

Impact Rodri was back in the team sheet Saturday after a few weeks off due to injury, starting and playing 65 minutes in the win. However, he wouldn't see much work in the match, only recording a singular shot while attempting 48 passes. Either way, this is a major return as they try to catch Arsenal for a title in the final two games of the season.

Rodri 'calm' over Man City contract talks as midfielder prioritises Premier League title battle with Arsenal

Starts FA Cup final Rodri (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Impact Rodri defied the questionable tag that had surrounded him heading into the weekend after missing five straight matches, with manager Pep Guardiola's cautious words proving more optimistic than expected as the crucial midfielder is handed a surprise starting role for the FA Cup final. His ability to come through the testing and earn a starting role in one of the biggest matches of the season is a major boost for a City side desperate to end the campaign with silverware.

Questionable once again Rodri (groin) is questionable for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "We will see [if he's available]. He will travel, and we will see."

Impact Rodri is still working on a return and remains with no clear status heading into Saturday, as he has not been deemed fit nor ruled out. This continues to be a storyline to end the season, as the crucial midfielder has now missed five straight games, potentially a loss that highlights a wasted shot at a title following his absence in a draw to Everton. He will likely go through some testing as he attempts to return for the final three games of the season, at least trying to help his club capture one trophy this campaign in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Still sidelined Rodri (groin) is out for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Rodri was a late call once again, but is yet to be risked in play, as the midfielder is still not on the team sheet. This likely means they are saving him for the FA Cup on Saturday, putting more priority on winning at least that trophy this season. Either way, he will be expected to return ahead of the end of the season.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Improving, late call again Rodri (groin) is improving and is a late call for Wednesday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "He's better. We will see in training this afternoon."

Impact Rodri has now missed four consecutive matches with a groin injury, making his potential return a significant boost for City's title push in the final fixtures of the season. The Ballon d'Or winner is arguably City's most important player and getting him back in any capacity for the Crystal Palace clash would be a major development, with coach Guardiola clearly cautious about committing to his involvement before seeing how he responds in training.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Rodri (groin) is out for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Rodri is still not an option as the club continues to do without their key midfielder, sitting out another game due to his groin injury. This will mark a fourth game out in a row, a rough stretch to be injured as the club tries to make a race for the league title in the final few games of the season. He will now look to return midweek when facing Palace, only having four games left this season.

Guardiola says Rodri absence not to blame for Man City title slip-up Manchester City are praying for favours from elsewhere in the Premier League title race, after they drew with Everton in Rodri's absence.

Late call for Brentford clash Rodri (groin) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Brentford, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "We will see this afternoon. Hopefully, tomorrow he will come back."

Impact Rodri had been ruled out of Monday's fixture against Everton as he continued to manage the groin issue, but his potential availability for the weekend is a more encouraging update heading into the final stretch of City's title push. The club will make a final call after assessing his condition ahead of Saturday's fixture, with Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez having covered in the defensive midfield during his absence. Getting Rodri back for the final fixtures of the season would be a massive boost for City with the Premier League title still very much up for grabs.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Another match out Rodri (groin) is out for Monday's match against Everton.

Impact Rodri is not yet fit and will wait a bit longer to see the field again, suffering from his groin injury still. With a busy schedule ahead until the end of the season, it appears they don't want to risk him yet, as they will want him for the final few games of the season. That said, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez start in the defensive portion of the midfield while Rodri sits.

Impact Rodri has been sidelined since picking up a groin issue against Arsenal and the club has been careful not to rush him back given how crucial he is to City's title push in the final weeks of the season. The tone of coach Guardiola's comments is slightly more optimistic than in recent updates, leaving a slim possibility of a return for Monday's fixture, though the club will not take any risks if he is not fully ready. Bernardo Silva and Nico O'Reilly have been covering the defensive midfield duties in his absence, with every available Rodri minute now precious as the title race enters its decisive phase.

Impact Rodri is still not fully recovered, but is at least progressing in recovery, as the midfielder has been given a positive update. However, he will not yet risk a return, as the midfielder remains doubtful for the FA Cup semifinal against Championship side Southampton. With the club's eyes set on winning the league and needing the crucial midfielder for those games, they likely don't want to risk further injury after a massive absence from the Spainard last season. With him likely to be out or not play if on the bench, Bernardo Silva and Nico O'Reilly will likely start in the defensive portion of the midfield, with Nico Gonzalez as another option.
