Manchester City’s Rodri (28) is on the verge of being out of the season.

“This is news that will scare Manchester City fans. There is a prospect that midfielder Rodri, who injured his knee against Arsenal, may not be able to return this season,” adding, “Rodri is a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or this year and is considered the most influential player in Manchester City.”

ESPN also said, “Lordry, who suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against Arsenal, is virtually unable to play this season,” adding, “He is expected to undergo surgery in Barcelona, Spain.”

Rodri, Manchester City’s defensive midfielder, was replaced in the 21st minute after collapsing in the 16th minute of the first half of the English Premier League’s fifth round home game against Arsenal in the 2024-25 season, holding his right knee and competing with Thomas Partey.

Manchester City failed to achieve its opening five consecutive wins by drawing 2-2 with Arsenal, and even worse, Rodri was on the verge of being out of the season due to injury.

Rodri joined Manchester City just before the opening of the Premier League this season after injuring his muscles behind his thigh at the 2024 European Championship (Euro 2024) held in July.

After failing to play in the opening three matches due to hamstring injury, Rodri was substituted for Brentford in the fourth round to recover his condition. He played his first start of the season against Arsenal in the fifth round on Sunday, but collapsed due to injury.

Rodri’s injury, a defensive midfielder who is in charge of bad luck in the midfield, is fatal for Manchester City. Rodri, who left Atletico Madrid in July 2019 to join Manchester City, took the starting position from the first season. 메이저사이트

Except for 46 official games in the 2021-22 season, he has played more than 50 games in as many as four of the past five seasons at Manchester City, including 52 games in the 2019-20 season, 53 games in the 2020-21 season, 56 games in the 2022-23 season and 50 games in the 2023-24 season.

Rodri is the core of Manchester City’s strength. According to ESPN, Manchester City lost only 19 Premier League games in 174 matches that Rodri has played since joining the club, and continued to win 52 consecutive matches in which Rodri started.

However, some analysts say that Rodri’s injury may have been caused by accumulated fatigue from playing in many games. Earlier on the 17th, Rodri said at a press conference ahead of the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League phase, “I think the number of games is too high. It’s not just me or anyone’s opinion. It’s probably a common opinion of the players.”

“I think the possibility of players going on strike is close. I will give the same answer no matter who I ask,” he said. “If this continues, the players will have no choice. It is impossible for us as the parties concerned to maintain a good physical level at all times. We can play 70 or maybe 80 games this year.”
