‘He Came Back Too Early, It’s A Good Lesson': Guardiola On Rodri’s Return From Injury

By IANS News February 21, 2026 • 13:12 PM View: 95

New Delhi: Pep Guardiola admitted that Rodri might have returned from injury sooner than ideal, yet believes the midfielder is slowly regaining his form.

The Spain international sustained a knee ligament injury in September 2024, a year following his Ballon d'Or award, and returned to play in May. Since then, Rodri has struggled to regain the level of influence he had at Manchester City.
