Manchester City midfielder Rodri has withdrawn from Spain’s national team camp after suffering a muscle injury during the weekend.
Although the injury is not considered serious, the decision was taken as a precaution to avoid aggravating the issue.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared on Monday that the 28-year-old reassured fans of his recovery progress. “I am feeling better, but no risk with the national team. I hope to be available in two weeks for the Everton game,” Rodri said.
His comments indicate optimism within Manchester City’s camp, with the club hopeful that the Spaniard will be fit for their Premier League fixture against Everton after the international break.
Rodri’s absence is expected to affect Spain’s midfield setup, with head coach Luis de la Fuente likely to test alternative options in the upcoming fixtures.
Meanwhile, Manchester City will continue to monitor the midfielder’s progress, mindful of his importance in their title challenge and Champions League campaign.
