Manchester City’s Rodri has arrived in Barcelona to meet with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ramon Cugat for further tests on his serious knee injury. The initial prognosis isn’t looking good, as tests suggest he may have suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee, which could keep him out for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Dr. Cugat is a highly respected expert in knee injuries and has treated top athletes like Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernandez, and Sergio Aguero. Rodri’s injury is a significant blow to Manchester City, as he’s been instrumental in their success.

It’s worth noting that Rodri had recently spoken out about the excessive match load faced by players, citing concerns about the impact on their physical and mental well-being. Unfortunately, his own injury has now ruled him out for an extended period.
