Rodri
29-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 11/22/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rodri only had a small sample after an ACL tear left him sidelined for nearly the entire campaign. He returned for the final few games and saw even more time during the Club World Cup, so the thought is that he'll be close to 100 percent for the start of 2025/26. If that's the case and he remains fit, he could hold his usual midfield role the majority of the season with 30-plus starts in play. At his peak a couple years ago, he was frequently involved in goals, totaling eight goals and nine assists. It's hard to see him being near those numbers this season, but as long as he's on the pitch, he'll have the ball near the top of the box and good things usually happen for City in those instances.
Training partially, return unknown
Rodri (hamstring) is wll be back "hopefully soon" but is out for Wednesday's match against Swansea City, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Rodri is still not [ready]. So is getting better, training with us partial. But, of course, after what happened two times with the muscular injuries, we are going to see how he is this week."
ANALYSIS
Rodri is going to miss yet another game as he recovers from a hasmtring injury, missing a fourth straight game and not risked for the midweek cup match. The good news for the midfielder is that he is nearing a return, likely only needing a week or two to make his way back to the field. He will hope to return ahead of the November international break, but the club will be cautious after he missed all of last season, with his next chance of returning Sunday against Bournemouth and the international break taking starting Nov. 10, three games during that span.

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."
