Overview

  • Pep Guardiola said Rodri told staff he was not able to play due to significant knee pain and was left out against Burnley.
  • The pain is in the same knee in which Rodri suffered an ACL injury last season, a setback that sidelined him for about eight months.
  • Guardiola said he does not know whether Rodri will be fit for Wednesday’s Champions League trip to AS Monaco.
  • Rodri had started three high‑intensity matches in eight days against Manchester United, Napoli and Arsenal before his latest complaint.
  • Manchester City reported four definite absences for Monaco as they monitor Rodri, with Nico González and Rico Lewis among recent midfield cover options.
