Tue May 20 20:40:00 UTC 2025: **Manchester City’s Rodri Set to Return Against Bournemouth, Boosts Champions League Qualification Hopes**

**Manchester, UK** – Manchester City midfielder Rodri is expected to be included in the squad for Tuesday’s crucial Premier League match against Bournemouth, marking a significant return after an eight-month injury layoff. According to sources, manager Pep Guardiola is set to name Rodri in the squad after the Spanish international has been training normally with the team in recent weeks.

Rodri has been sidelined since suffering a cruciate ligament injury on September 22nd against Arsenal. The injury required surgery and has kept him out of action for the majority of the season.

While a starting position is unlikely, there’s a possibility Rodri could feature for some minutes during the game. His return is a welcome boost for Manchester City as they look to secure their Champions League qualification.

Furthermore, his return is also good news for the Spanish national team, with the Nations League tournament just a month away.
