Rodri Injury: Comeback unlikely before November

Rodri (hamstring) is unlikely going to be available before November, coach Pep Guardiola suggested in a press conference. "I don't think so. Aston Villa I don't think so either. It's not long but it's muscular. We have to be careful. We tried many times to prevent another injury but we have not been able to do that so we will see."

Rodri is unlikely to be available for the two remaining fixtures in October against Villarreal and Aston Villa, according to coach Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard is dealing with a minor muscular injury and is being managed carefully to avoid any major setback. Nico Gonzalez will likely replace him in midfield until he fully recovers.
