Man City’s Rodri avoids being sidelined for a long time

The Sky Blues star Rodri avoided a “serious” problem during the team’s match vs. Arsenal, while Kevin De Bruyne is expected to return soon.

The Spaniard was substituted after appearing to jar his knee while his leg was planted in the turf during the Sky Blues’ 2-2 draw against the Gunners yesterday as Rodri was able to stand and leave the pitch on his own power. The latest reports suggest that he didn’t suffer a serious problem that can threaten his season.

Pep Guardiola’s side play 4 matches in the next 2 weeks, vs. Newcastle and Fulham in the Premier League, Watford in the Carabao Cup, and Slovan Bratislava in the UCL, so the manager must rotate the squad. The positive news for the head coach is that his Belgium superstar Kevin De Bruyne will be available soon, having missed the Gunners game with a thigh problem suffered vs. Inter in the Champions League.
