Manchester City midfielder Rodri, a 28-year-old Spain international, is set to miss the remainder of the 2024/25 season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during Sunday's draw against Arsenal. The injury, described as a serious knee injury, was confirmed after tests conducted on Monday morning. Rodri, a key player for Manchester City and a favorite for the Ballon d'Or, has only played 66 Premier League minutes this season. His absence is a significant blow to the Premier League champions, who have heavily relied on his contributions in midfield.
