29-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 10/26/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rodri only had a small sample after an ACL tear left him sidelined for nearly the entire campaign. He returned for the final few games and saw even more time during the Club World Cup, so the thought is that he'll be close to 100 percent for the start of 2025/26. If that's the case and he remains fit, he could hold his usual midfield role the majority of the season with 30-plus starts in play. At his peak a couple years ago, he was frequently involved in goals, totaling eight goals and nine assists. It's hard to see him being near those numbers this season, but as long as he's on the pitch, he'll have the ball near the top of the box and good things usually happen for City in those instances.

Out without precise timeline
Rodri (hamstring) remains out for the time being without a precise timeline to return, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "I don't know. Not yet, [he's] not ready for tomorrow."
ANALYSIS
Rodri suffered a hamstring injury in the last Premier League game against Brentford and remains out for the time being without a specific timeline for return. The former Ballon d'Or winner had started all of his last six appearances for Manchester City, therefore his absence has a big impact on the starting XI, with Nico Gonzalez likely taking his spot in the heart of the game while he is sidelined.
