Unfortunately, Manchester City's midfielder, Rodri, will not be able to play for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury. His absence was confirmed by manager Pep Guardiola, who also revealed that star player Kevin De Bruyne will not be joining the team for their upcoming game against Newcastle United this weekend.
Rodri sustained his injury during City's recent match against Arsenal, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Initial tests showed that the Spanish international would be out for most of the season. However, after undergoing surgery on Friday, it has been confirmed that he will not be able to make a comeback until next season.
Guardiola expressed his disappointment over Rodri's injury, stating that it's unfortunate but sometimes inevitable at that level of competition. He also assured that the team will support Rodri during his recovery and look forward to having him back on the field next season.
The absence of Rodri will be felt by the team, as he brings a unique skill set that cannot be easily replaced. However, Guardiola believes that with the efforts of the entire team, they can overcome this challenge and continue to perform well without Rodri.
On the other hand, De Bruyne's absence has been ongoing since his half-time substitution in City's Champions League match against Inter on September 18. Guardiola confirmed that he will not be playing against Newcastle and could potentially be out for a few more weeks.
When asked about De Bruyne's return, Guardiola remained uncertain and stated that it could be before or after the international break. The team is hopeful for his speedy recovery and looks forward to competing against other top teams with him in the future.
Despite the setbacks, City remains determined and focused on their upcoming games, including their match against Newcastle this weekend. Fans can expect to see the team playing as a united front and giving their best efforts to secure a win.
