Spain Captain Rodri To Undergo Back Surgery: Report
FIFA World Cup Player: Spain's captain Rodri is reportedly set for another spell on the sidelines after reports emerged that the midfielder will undergo surgery on a back injury.
The Spanish midfield maestro has secured the Golden Ball, awarded to the FIFA World Cup Player of the Tournament, for his performances in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was a steady presence in the centre of the park for La Roja in their eight matches, helping them win their second global crown.
The midfielder was hit by ligament damage in harmless circumstances in September 2024,. that sidelined him for almost the entire 2024-25 season.
