Man City's Rodri Targets Return This Season After ACL Surgery

The Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder is optimistic about recovering within six to seven months despite being initially ruled out for the season.

Rodri suffered an ACL injury in September during Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Arsenal and underwent surgery shortly after.
Initially deemed out for the season by manager Pep Guardiola, Rodri now aims to return in six to seven months, depending on his recovery progress.
The Spanish midfielder emphasized maintaining a positive mindset and avoiding rushed decisions during his rehabilitation process.
Manchester City has struggled in Rodri's absence, enduring a six-game winless streak across all competitions.
Rodri, who won the Ballon d’Or in October, continues to work with physiotherapists to determine the timeline for his potential return.
