Pep Guardiola has given an injury update on Rodri after he limped off during Manchester City’s 1-0 win at Brentford on Sunday.

Erling Haaland scored the only goal at the G-tech Community Stadium to help move City up to fifth in the Premier League table.

But the three points came at a cost after star midfielder Rodri hobbled off the pitch after just 22 minutes, with Nico Gonzalez replacing him.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner has struggled to get back to full fitness after suffering a devastating ACL injury last season that ruled him out for eight months.

After watching the Spain international clutching the back of his leg, fans will no doubt be fearing the worst as City look to beat the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool to the title.
