Rodri is looking to come back from injury around June or July wanting to play in the Nations League and Club World Cup. His time away has really hurt Manchester City and how they play. Even though people are talking about him maybe going to Real Madrid Rodri is just thinking about getting better.
- Rodri wants to be ready for the Nations League and Club World Cup by middle of 2025.
- He hasn’t played since September when he got a torn ACL and meniscus.
- All that talk about Real Madrid isn’t as important as him getting healthy again.
Rodri’s Impact on Manchester City
Manchester City really feels it when Rodri isn’t playing. Being such an important player in midfield the team just works better with him there. Looking at the last two seasons City didn’t lose in 36 out of 49 league games when Rodri played which shows how good he is for them. When he’s not there, they lost 5 of the 13 games which really shows how much they need him back in midfield.

Manchester City’s Strategic Outlook
While getting Rodri healthy is super important Manchester City also has to deal with all these transfer stories. Even though people keep talking about Real Madrid wanting him Rodri is just focused on getting better. With Pep Guardiola staying longer the club wants to keep winning everything. When Guardiola decided to stay longer it showed everyone they want to keep developing players and being the best. Having Rodri come back is part of their plan to keep winning both in England and everywhere else. You can read more about this in Guardiola’s Commitment: A New Chapter at Manchester City.
