Rodri injured his right knee in City's 2-2 draw against Arsenal in September. An ACL injury can take from six months to a year to heal and City manager Pep Guardiola declared his season was over after the surgery. City has struggled in his absence and is on a six-game winless run in all competitions.

Manchester City's injured midfielder Rodri says he wants to return to action to help his team-mates before the end of the season.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner is recovering from ACL surgery after suffering the injury in September. "My target is to come back this season. I don't give up on this season, I don't want to make any mistakes. My target is six or seven months," Rodri told The Rest Is Football podcast.

Manchester City’s Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has said he would listen to Real Madrid if the “best team in history” one day came knocking.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri says he has not given up hope on returning to the pitch this season. The Ballon d’Or winner suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in September and underwent surgery.
