Man City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Rodri is fit and available for selection again after missing the 5-1 win over Burnley at the weekend.
The Spanish international had been experiencing discomfort in his knee, but when asked about the midfielder ahead of the Monaco game, Guardiola said:
“Day by day see how best he feels. The day before Burnley he didn’t feel too good. Today he feels much better so we will see. It’s different from [when he had a problem at] the Club World Cup – now he is not injured. But the week before was so demanding with [games against] Manchester United, Napoli and especially Arsenal.”
“Right now, in my opinion if you ask me, he is not able to play three games a week at top, top level. Tough intensity and demanding of opponents. My feeling is right now he is not ready. Because he needs time. This type of injury [to recover fully] is a minimum one year.”
Return Date – Wednesday 1st October vs Monaco (a)
