Manchester City is expected to have the most unfortunate news of the season.
Global sports media ESPN reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'Lodri will be out for the season due to ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).'
ESPN said tests conducted this morning showed Rodri ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and is unlikely to play the rest of the season. According to the news, he is scheduled to undergo further examination, but all signs point to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. There is a good chance that he will undergo surgery in Barcelona.

David Onstein, a journalist with the global sports media The Athletic and the highest public confidence, is also expected to miss a significant period of time due to a serious injury to his personal SNS. As the inspection is still ongoing, the period has not been confirmed.'
Rodri started in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Arsenal in 2024-2025 at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on the 23rd, but he collapsed to the ground complaining of pain less than 20 minutes later. At the time, he was injured when his knee was broken while competing with Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey in a corner kick. It was even more regrettable because it occurred in a simple competition process without any special tackles or interference movements.
Rodri was immediately sent to the stadium to check, but he could not play more and left the ground immediately.

After the game, an injury expert's article that already predicted his anterior cruciate ligament rupture became a hot topic. On his personal social media, an expert on soccer injuries, a physio scout posted 'Video analysis shows that it appears to have included rupture of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus damage. The right knee was bent outward, and the tibia bone also moved. A scan will be required to accurately identify the injury. The best case would be meniscus injuries, but those injuries are not good either. I hope you can avoid an anterior cruciate ligament injury somehow,' he said, adding that an anterior cruciate ligament injury is the biggest negative factor for Manchester City.
In the end, Rodri's initial examination results show that he is likely to rupture the anterior cruciate ligament, and in fact, unless there is a major reversal in the specific examination results, he is certain to be out for the season. If damage to the meniscus is added, Rodri will have to leave the ground for at least nine months.
Manchester City's proud best midfielder will be absent for a long time. Pep Guardiola, who lost Rodri at the beginning of the season, is expected to worry more.
