Blue Moon midfielder has broken again: Rodri s long comeback, and the invisible crisis in Manchester City s summer window

"Spain's iron waist is once again hangs the free battle card."

Guardiola personally confirmed at the training camp in the United States that Mr. Rodri will be absent until mid-September due to "severe injuries".

In just one year, two heavy blows. Rodri, 29, was almost reimbursed for a torn cruciate ligament last season, and he didn't play for 8 minutes until the penultimate round. This summer, he competed in the Club World Cup with the team. He only started once in four games, but he wounded his groin in the overtime stage of the 1/8 finals. At that time, he replaced Gundogan in the 53rd minute and was finally carried off by a stretcher. Manchester City was also eliminated by Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent and went home early.

"He recovered well, but that was a big injury." Guardiola said, "He has joined the team in the last two training sessions. We hope he can truly come back painlessly in the international game. Before that, we must not take risks."

Snowball injury Now, Manchester City's infirmary is overcrowded: Foden, Gvadior, Echeviri, and Rodri all missed Saturday's warm-up with Palermo; Kovacic and Calvin Phillips are also injured; although the young player Nico O'Reilly, who just renewed his contract last week, went to Italy with the team, he also had a slight impact injury.

The midfielder is in a hurry, and Guardiola can only hope that the young people will take over - but everyone knows that Manchester City without Rodri is like a ship without the Dinghai Needle. The new season has not yet begun and the crisis has faintly emerged.
