Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the remainder of the season after tests this morning confirmed he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee during Sunday’s draw with Arsenal, a source told ESPN.
Rodri ‘sustained a cruciate ligament tear’ during Sunday’s game at the Etihad Stadium. They claim a ‘more definitive diagnosis’ will be available later on Monday with the midfielder ‘set to undergo tests in Spain’, MARCA disclosed.
The Spanish midfielder went down clutching his leg in agony after only 16 minutes of the Premier League clash, after seeming to jar his knee while contesting for the ball inside his own penalty area.
The 28-year-old writhed on the ground in pain, before appearing to hold back tears as he limped from the field alongside City’s medical staff.
MARCA claims that the Spaniard ‘is currently travelling to Madrid to undergo a new examination to confirm the serious injury. He also plans to visit several specialists to decide regarding the operation.’
His absence will be a colossal loss for Man City, with Rodri’s influence in the side having helped City clinch their last four Premier League titles.
