Manchester City’s midfield powerhouse, Rodri, is set to undergo further medical tests amid growing concerns that he could miss the remainder of the season due to a serious injury.

Early assessments indicate that the Spanish international has potentially suffered a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee, a devastating blow for both the player and the club.

Rodri sustained the injury during a recent match, and initial scans have raised fears of a significant ligament tear. 

According to reports, the club's medical team suspects an ACL injury, which, if confirmed, would likely rule him out for the rest of the 2023/24 season. 

The severity of an ACL tear typically requires months of recovery, including surgery and extensive rehabilitation.

Manchester City is bracing for the worst as they await the results of further tests. 

Losing Rodri would be a massive setback for Pep Guardiola's side, as the midfielder has been a critical figure in the team's recent successes, including their treble-winning campaign last season. 

His ability to control the tempo of games, provide defensive cover, and contribute offensively has made him indispensable to City’s midfield.

With the season still in its early stages, City will now have to find a way to cope without one of their most consistent performers. 

As the club prepares for the possibility of Rodri’s long-term absence, attention will turn to potential replacements and tactical adjustments that could help fill the void left by the Spanish star.
