WHAT HAPPENED?

 

The midfielder has not featured for City since September 2024 after he ruptured his ACL during a Premier League clash against Arsenal. Since then he has undergone surgery and is following an extensive rehabilitation plan at the moment. Amid his recovery, Manchester Evening News reports that the Spaniard has travelled with the Cityzens’ squad to the French capital for their upcoming Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Rodri, however, has not been named in the club’s 21-member travelling squad as the MEN report claims that he is working on his recovery and is still a long way from playing a match. The Ballon d’Or winner, though, is eyeing an early comeback and hopes to feature for the English champions towards the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

John Stones is back in the matchday squad for the first time in a month, while Nathan Ake and Jeremy Doku miss out. Doku had a brilliant outing City’s thumping 6-0 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League last weekend, but the Belgian reportedly picked up an injury that will see him sidelined in the Champions League.

After facing the Ligue 1 champions on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola’s side will turn their attention to hosting Chelsea on Saturday at Etihad Stadium in a crucial Premier League fixture.

 

 

Rodri has traveled with the Manchester City squad to Paris to lend his support ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

 

 

 

The Spanish midfielder, who is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, has remained deeply involved with the team despite his time on the sidelines. His presence in Paris highlights his unwavering commitment to Manchester City during this critical phase of the season.

 

The match, scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at the Parc des Princes, promises to be a high-stakes encounter as both teams battle for supremacy in the group stage. Manchester City enters the fixture in strong form, having secured four victories in their last five games across all competitions. Their recent performances have included an impressive tally of 22 goals and three clean sheets, further solidifying their position as one of Europe’s elite clubs.

 

Following this midweek European test, City will turn their attention back to domestic matters, hosting Chelsea in a Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, January 25. For now, however, all eyes remain on their trip to Paris, where Rodri’s leadership and encouragement could play an influential role in motivating the squad.
