Manchester City came in the knockout stages of the Champions League and they could still welcome the injured star.
The struggles of Manchester City this season have many causes. It is a combination of team fatigue, a aging team and perhaps a feeling that the uncompromising style of Pep Guardiola can wear thin.
But above all an injury to a single player seems to have unraveled the entire defensive structure of the city. Ballon d'Or winner Rodri suffered a serious knee injury during a 2-2 draw with Arsenal last September and underwent an operation earlier this month.
Guardiola has repeatedly insisted that he expects Rodri to be released for the rest of the 2024/25 season, but a decision of City seems to suggest that he could still make a shock early recovery.
Rodri is mentioned in the Squadlist of Manchester City for the knockout stages of the Champions League. The Times reports that City will choose to register Rodri in the 25-man team, in addition to new signing sessions Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
City has not yet given an important update about the recovery of Rodri, but the player has indicated that it is progressing well. In an interview with ALS this month, Rodri confirmed that he prioritizes his recovery and said that he wants to “go back to the level where I was.”
He continued: 'At the moment my obsession is to recover well. I think when someone has a long -term injury, what he wants is to give his body the chance to return to his best and especially return to a good level. That is what my goal is: to be fit and have no problems. “
