Rodri takes another step forward in good news for Manchester City | OneFootball

There is little doubt that the biggest injury blow Manchester City suffered this season was the loss of Rodri to an ACL injury. City’s midfield general went down with the injury during his team’s 2-all draw with Arsenal at the Etihad in September. Since that moment, Pep Guardiola’s side have sorely missed the Ballon d’Or winner. Manchester City’s midfield and play haven’t been the same without the Spanish international.

Recently, we have seen Rodri spotted at Manchester City training, and he has travelled with the Manchester City squad for matches. This has seen him stay involved with Pep Guardiola’s side while he continues his recovery from injury. But in a video released on Manchester City’s official X account, Rodri is now ramping up his training. That is positive news for the world champions. It does mean that City’s midfield general is slowly working his way back to full fitness. However, his return to the pitch remains some way off based on the typical timeframe it takes to recover from such a serious injury.

In the footage released by Manchester City, Rodri is shown running freely, and he is back doing ball work. He is shown passing the ball and more and also running in a series of drills. That is progress in his return from the devastating injury he sustained.

Today’s update is positive news for Manchester City and Rodri. If City’s midfield general can continue to ramp up his training there is a chance we may see him back on the pitch before the end of the season. Although, you do hope that City take a cautious approach with his return from injury. You do feel that will be the case based on Rodri’s importance to Manchester City.
