Here's another piece of good news for Manchester City fans. After the news that Abdukodir Khusanov has recovered from his injury and started training, another important figure of the team - Rodri - has also fully recovered and joined the general training process.
Football insider Fabrizio Romano reported this on his social media page. According to him, the 29-year-old Spanish midfielder received a "green light" from doctors and has resumed training with the main squad.
As a reminder, Rodri suffered a knee injury in the 7th round of the English Premier League against Brentford. Although his injury was initially assessed as not serious, the recovery process took longer than expected.
During this time, Manchester City faced difficulties in defense and midfield. The team suffered losses in several important matches, especially the absence of Rodri, which significantly disrupted the balance in the center of the game.
The Spanish footballer has been with the club since 2019. He joined the team on a large transfer from Atlético Madrid and soon became the "main engineer" of the midfield in Pep Guardiola's main system.
Rodri's role on the field is not limited to processing the ball - he controls the team's tempo, participates in pressing, and gives the defense additional stability. His recovery was as necessary as a real breath for City in the current complex calendar era.
Especially considering Abdukodir Khusanov's recent return to the squad, the simultaneous recovery of these two players was a significant achievement for Guardiola. Currently, City faces several crucial matches - the League Cup, Premier League, and Champions League.
At the same time, Rodri won almost all trophies at the club level under Pep Guardiola. He also made history as the scorer of the decisive goal in the Champions League final.
Fans believe Rodri's recovery will help restore stability in the team's play. With his return to the field, Manchester City is expected to regain their unique style - control, pressure, and balance.
Thus, City's morale rose again: Khusanov strengthened the defense, and Rodri reinforced the midfield. Now, the team has intensified its preparations for the challenging November matches against Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.
Now Pep Guardiola is demanding maximum discipline and physical fitness from his players. The return of Rodri and Husanov will undoubtedly become an important factor in the implementation of these plans.
