“Rodri is getting better, but he has suffered a major injury in the last five or six weeks in his final match against Al Hillal.” Guardiola<\/span> I said.<\/p>\n

“He’s training now and it’s better in the last two or three days. Hopefully an international break will really fit him.”<\/p>\n

City, which struggled without a mainstay mid-season mid-season, will hold a 2025-26 campaign with Wolves next Saturday. They also play Tottenham and Brighton before the international break in September.<\/p>\n
