- City fear worst after initial tests show ACL damage
- Absence would represent big blow to City’s title hopes
Rodri sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday, initial tests have indicated, and may miss the rest of the season, handing the champions a serious blow in their push to win a fifth successive Premier League crown.
The 28-year-old was forced off after 21 minutes of the game at the Etihad Stadium, having gone down under minimal contact following a challenge by Thomas Partey inside the Arsenal area, but in clear agony. City await further tests but fear the worst in regards to the availability of one of Pep Guardiola’s most important and influential players.
