Manchester City fans in the English Premier League (EPL) are hot.

Midfielder Rodri, who has been out for a long time due to injury, is showing explosive enthusiasm after a video was released suggesting that his return is imminent.

Manchester City introduced a short video of Rodri's recent situation on the club's official social account (X) at 5 a.m. on the 1st (Korea time) under the title of `On the road to recovery.'




In the video, Rodri handled the ball with confidence with a bright expression and lightly performed basic physical training such as running, shuttle running, and running obstacles.

In response, soccer fans responded wildly. Less than five hours after the video was released, the number of views exceeded 953,000. More than 440 comments and 14,000 "heart likes" were posted here.

It was the most explosive response that Manchester City has posted dozens of different contents over the past week.




Fans were all happy to hear of Rodri's recovery in the comments, such as 'Finally he's coming back',' made me happy','The biggest disaster for Manchester City this season was Rodri's injury, and his recovery was the only thing to celebrate'

Rodri, the winner of the 2024 Ballon d'Or, has been sidelined so far after winning a central prize called an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in her knee in September last year. While Rodri was excluded, Manchester City fell from the top of the league. Of course, Rodri's injury absence is not an absolute reason. The line injuries of other key veterans, including Kevin DeBrouiner, served as a negative factor.

Currently, Manchester City is fourth in the league (47 points), with a 20-point gap with leading Liverpool. Since the season is still three months away, fans who expect a final turnaround want to hope for Rodri's return.




But Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said `Rodri's return will be slow. We have to wait and see,' he said, showing considerable caution. Nevertheless, fans regard Guardiola's cautious remarks as a `lip service' because the club released a video of his preparation for return through its official account.
