Manchester City's Spanish midfielder #16 Rodri (R) receives medical assistance before being helped off the pitch, after being injured during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on September 22, 2024. Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury, dealing a huge blow to their hopes of winning a fifth straight Premier League title. City manager Pep Guardiola said the Spain international, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in last week's 2-2 draw with Arsenal, had gone under the knife on Friday. "He had surgery on the morning of September 27, 2024, ACL and some meniscus" he said. "So, next season he will be here. This season is over."
