The talented midfielder tore a ligament, but the Premier League reigning champions have not revealed the extent of the injury.
If Rodri has to recover for several months, City will step in the transfer market. They have a 2.3-point average and win 74% of the games in which he plays. Without him, the two metrics go off quickly.
Martin Zubimendi is the frontrunner to fill the void. He declined a transfer to Arsenal and Liverpool in order to remain at Real Sociedad.
In the national team, he fills in for the Sky Blues pillar. Adam Wharton, the prodigy at Crystal Palace, may be a backup.
But the dominant English team may also consider Serie A. Barella is almost untouchable due to his contract extension through 2029.
Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer and has already made inquiries. It takes a €70M offer merely to begin the discussion.
After a hectic summer, Ederson will be someone Atlanta wants to retain, but it will depend on the price, reports Cult Of Calcio.
