Rodri (undisclosed) suffered an injury setback in Monday's 4-3 defeat against Al-Hilal, coach Pep Guardiola confirmed in a press conference, according to The Guardian. "Rodri - he complained about his situation."

Rodri is improving day after day and will gradually see his minutes increase until the start of the 2025/26 season after returning from his long-term knee injury, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "Rodri can play, of course not for 90 minutes but the last 30 or 35. He's been making a step forward in the last three or four days. We had some problems and niggles, but we're happy we could add minutes to him."

Echeverri (ankle) is set to miss two to three weeks due to injury, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "He has a problem in the ankle. Will be two or three weeks out. I feel so sorry for him from all of us."

Echeverri was forced off at halftime of Sunday's 6-0 victory against Al Ain in the FIFA Club World Cup due to a bad ankle twist, coach Pep Guardiola confirmed in a press conference, according to City Xtra. "That's why he could not continue, but he's an incredible player, a big, big talent in small spaces, and I'm happy for him."

Rodri is getting better since his return from injury and is being managed carefully by the staff, coach Pep Guardiola said in a press conference. "No. He's getting better. We can't forget it's almost nine months since the sad day what happened. It's an injury between 10 and 12 months [recovery]. It's a long injury. He's getting better and if he can play 20-30 minutes it'll be good. I know he wants to be there but we need to protect him."
