Manchester City midfielder Rodri is determined to return to action this season despite a significant injury. The Spain international ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September. While manager Pep Guardiola initially ruled him out for the season, Rodri remains optimistic about a comeback within six to seven months.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, the 27-year-old said, “My target is to come back this season. I don’t want to make any mistakes.” Rodri admitted the first month and a half of recovery was difficult due to pain and mobility issues, but he remains upbeat, adding, “I am doing much better than I thought.”
City have struggled in his absence, failing to win any of their last six games across all competitions. Rodri’s potential return could be pivotal as City aim to end their season on a high, with the Premier League concluding on 25 May, followed by the FA Cup and the Club World Cup in June.
