There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Rodri's injury and whether he would be able to return to the pitch for Manchester City before the end of the Premier League season. However, recent updates have given fans a glimmer of hope as his recovery is going better than expected.
It all started back in September when the Spaniard suffered an ACL injury during the game against Arsenal and had to be taken off the field. Ever since then, he has not been able to play. At first, the injury seemed so severe that it was believed he would be out for the entire season. But, as it turns out, things are looking up for Rodri.
According to reports, the 28-year-old is making impressive progress in his rehabilitation and could even be back in action earlier than anticipated. In fact, sources claim that he is currently two months ahead of schedule and has already started running on a treadmill. This has certainly caught the attention of the medical team and has sparked some hope that he could make a return to the Premier League this season.
In a recent interview on Spanish show COPE, Rodri himself expressed his desire to play again this season and even set himself a personal goal of returning in time for the Club World Cup in the summer. He mentioned that the extended season, which ends on July 13, has motivated him to push harder in his recovery.
The Club World Cup takes place from June 14 to July 13, while the Premier League season concludes on May 25. It would be a huge boost for Manchester City if Rodri is able to make an early comeback, especially since they have been struggling without him on the field.
Their recent form, with only one win in their last 10 games, has been a cause for concern for fans and manager Pep Guardiola. With the Manchester derby coming up this weekend, the team could certainly use Rodri's presence in the midfield. It's clear that his return would be a major game-changer and could significantly improve City's chances of success in the remaining matches of the Premier League season.
