Rodri Faces Spell on the Sidelines After Successful Back Surgery
Manchester City have confirmed that midfield star Rodri has undergone successful back surgery and will be sidelined for a short period as he begins his recovery.
The Spanish international had been dealing with persistent back discomfort following a demanding campaign for both club and country.
After further medical assessments, surgery was recommended to address the issue and ensure he returns to full fitness.
Although the Premier League champions have not provided an exact timeline for his comeback, the club remains optimistic that the 30-year-old will return sooner rather than later.
Medical staff will closely monitor his rehabilitation before he resumes full training.
Rodri has become one of the most influential midfielders in world football since joining Manchester City.
His ability to dictate the tempo, break up opposition attacks and control possession has made him an irreplaceable figure in Pep Guardiola’s side.
His absence will be a significant challenge as City prepare for the start of the new season, but the club is expected to rely on the depth of its squad while their midfield general recovers.
The surgery is understood to have gone successfully, giving both the player and the club confidence that he will return at full strength.
Manchester City will take no risks with his rehabilitation, prioritising his long-term fitness over a rushed comeback.
