Rodri’s season is 'over' as a result of an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal, Pep Guardiola has confirmed. The 28-year-old underwent surgery on his right knee on Friday morning, having had to be substituted early in the first half of Sunday’s encounter after going down under no challenge, and will now start his rehabilitation.
'[There was] good surgery this morning for an ACL and some meniscus or something. Next season he will be here. This season is over,' said Guardiola. 'What he gives us, we don’t have a similar player but the other players altogether can replace what Rodri has given since he arrived to us. We have to do it as a team and we have to find the way to play during a lot months without an important player. Everybody knows it.'
