Impact Rodri remained a central figure for Spain throughout the window, completing 90 minutes against England before playing 19 against Croatia, 76 against the Czech Republic and 71 in the return meeting with Croatia. His workload was therefore spread across the four matches, and he returns to Barcelona with no reported physical concerns despite totaling 147 minutes in the final two fixtures. The midfielder had started four consecutive league matches before the break after initially opening the season in a reduced role, and he should remain a strong candidate to start against Getafe despite the possibility of some workload management.
