Rodri Withdrawn Early With Thigh Concern as Man City Edge Brentford

City face fresh uncertainty over their midfield anchor after an ACL last year followed by a Club World Cup relapse.

Overview

  • Rodri left the match in the 20th minute after clutching the back of his right thigh and could not continue.
  • Manchester City won 1-0 away, with Erling Haaland scoring his ninth Premier League goal of the season.
  • There was no official medical update on the midfielder's condition by Sunday evening.
  • The 29-year-old tore his ACL in September 2024, later picked up an injury at the Club World Cup, missed the Burnley match on 27 September, and played 61 minutes in Monaco midweek.
  • Sky commentator Jonas Friedrich called Rodri irreplaceable for City and said he feared the worst regarding the new problem.
