Man City fans have been blown away by Rodri’s recovery progress after the midfielder shared clips of himself doing rehabilitation work.

The 28-year-old is spending time in America at the moment as he continues to work on his knee injury.

The Ballon d’Or winner sustained his injury against Arsenal in September and was expected to be out of action until next season.

The defending Premier League champions have struggled without the midfielder, with the club sitting fifth in the table as they are two points adrift of Chelsea.

Rodri has only featured three times this season across all competitions, but he is continuing to work on his return to the team.

The midfielder has been a crucial part of Pep Guardiola’s squad since he joined the club, scoring 26 goals and providing 30 assists in 260 appearances.

Rodri was not expected to feature until next season, but City’s decision to register him in their European squad showcases they believe there’s a possibility the midfielder could end up featuring.

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider that City registering him was not just “wishful thinking.”
