Although not as famous as Elling Holan and Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri (28, Spain), a real key player in Manchester City, was eventually operated on due to a ruptured cruciate ligament and was out for the season.
"Lordie has undergone knee surgery. He will no longer be allowed to play in the remaining games of 2024-2025," Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said in an early press conference on Monday (local time) ahead of Newcastle's 2024-2025 EPL sixth round away.
Rodri, the world's best defensive midfielder, collapsed in the 16th minute of the EPL match against Arsenal on the 23rd, holding his knee when he landed in an aerial ball competition with Thomas Partey. Eventually, he was replaced and the injury was a fatal cruciate ligament injury for soccer players. 메이저놀이터
With Rodri's departure, Guardiola said, "Rodri is a midfielder who, as everyone knows, plays a fundamental role in team tactics," adding, "As a commander, we have to find a solution."
