EPL: Big blow – Guardiola gives update on Rodri’s injury

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said the club are still not entirely sure what the extent of Rodri’s injury is.

However, Guardiola admitted Rodri will be out for an extended period of time.

The Spanish midfielder was taken off in the first half of their 2-2 draw with Arsenal last Sunday.

Multiple reports have claimed Rodri has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and could miss the rest of the season.

“When you are without the best midfielder in the world for a long time it is a big blow,” Guardiola said after their Carabao Cup win over Watford on Tuesday night.

“But my duty is to find a solution.

“When a player is irreplaceable, we have to do it as a team.”
