Manchester City received a severe blow before the start of the new season of the English Premier League, after it was confirmed that its Spanish player Rodri was confirmed from the first matches, after an injury he suffered against Al Hilal Saudi at the 2025 Club World Cup.
The extent of Rodri’s absence from the stadiums
English reports indicated that Rodri will not participate in the first three City matches in the Premier League 2025/2026 season, as he needs at least two additional months to return to his full readiness, unless his muscle injury exacerbates. This absence is an extension of its previous suffering from a cruciate ligament injury suffered in September 2024.
How did Rodri injure in front of the Saudi crescent?
The player was injured during the Manchester City confrontation against the Saudi Crescent in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, forcing him to get out of the meeting. The injury came at a time when the team was counting on restoring its readiness after a long absence last season.
Rodri’s future with Manchester City
Rodri’s contract with Manchester City extends until the summer of 2027, amid reports linking his name to the move to Real Madrid in the event that an agreement is not reached to renew his contract next summer.
The date of the first match for Manchester City in the league
Manchester City will open his career in the English Premier League, confronting Wolverhampton next Saturday, at seven thirty in the evening Cairo and Makkah time, in the absence of one of the most important pillars of the midfield.
