Manchester City are without Rodri once again as they travel to the capital to face Fulham tonight.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner has been plagued with fitness issues this term, making an initial comeback from an ACL injury that ruled him out for most of last season, and is struggling with a niggling hamstring problem this time around.

Rodri was believed to be in line for a return to action after the November international break, but that timeline has been pushed back slightly.

Pep Guardiola in his two-minute pre-match press conference on Monday that Rodri was “not yet” fit to play, thus would not travel with the squad for their trip to Craven Cottage.

The Spaniard is the only immediate injury concern for City, with Mateo Kovacic a longer-term absentee after ankle surgery.
