Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury during the Premier League 2024-25 match against Arsenal on Sunday

The Spaniard has played only 66 minutes in the league this season, after being ruled out of City’s opening two league clashes against Chelsea and Ipswich due to a hamstring injury.

He was an unused substitute in City’s third league game against West Ham United.

After playing 45 minutes in City’s 2-1 win against Brentford, the 28-year-old made his first start of the season against Arsenal and was subbed off in the 22nd minute, after a collision with Thomas Partey.

Rodri was influential in Manchester City’s record fourth consecutive Premier League title last season and was also adjudged the Player of the Tournament during Euro 2024, where Spain clinched a record fourth European Championship title.

Since joining the English club in 2019 from Atletico Madrid, Rodri has featured in 260 games, scoring 26 goals and assisting 30 in all competitions. Notably, he scored the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League 2022-23 season final against Inter Milan, helping his side complete a historic treble.
