Manchester City’s midfielder Rodri is making good progress in his recovery. He’s training with the team and could return soon before the FIFA Club World Cup.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Rodrigo Hernández is back in full training with Manchester City. He’s recovering from an ACL injury he got last September against Arsenal. The Ballon d’Or winner has been seen training with his teammates, which is a big boost for City. Manager Pep Guardiola said, “He’s training with us and doing very well, but I don’t know when he’ll be ready. That will depend on the medical staff.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
City has missed Rodri this season, struggling in domestic and European competitions without him. Known for stability and leadership, his return comes at a key time. City is aiming for a strong finish in the Premier League and might have FA Cup commitments. At 28, his comeback can help City regain consistency for the final games.
WHAT NEXT FOR RODRI AND MANCHESTER CITY?
Rodri is working on his fitness, aiming for a return during the FIFA Club World Cup starting June 14. This tournament gives him a realistic timeline for his comeback, after a tough season. Before that, City has remaining Premier League games and could feature in the FA Cup final on May 17 if they win their semifinal. Guardiola and his medical team will avoid rushing Rodri, ensuring he’s fully fit before playing. His return is key for the club’s ambitions and building momentum for the next season.
