Wed Sep 25 14:53:36 UTC 2024: ## Manchester City Midfielder Rodri Out With Knee Injury
**MANCHESTER -** Manchester City midfielder Rodri has suffered a ligament injury to his right knee, the club confirmed on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is still being assessed, but City manager Pep Guardiola has stated that Rodri will be out for “a long time.”
The news comes as a major blow to City’s title aspirations, as the Spanish international is considered one of the team’s most important players. Rodri was forced to leave the pitch after just 20 minutes during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
He subsequently traveled to Spain on Monday to consult with specialists.
City are currently in second place in the Premier League table, just one point behind leaders Arsenal. The club will be hoping for a swift recovery for Rodri, but his absence could have a significant impact on their hopes of winning a fifth consecutive league title.
