Rodri Injury: Building on fitness, still out

Rodri (hamstring) is looking sharper and training well but remains out for the time being, assistant coach Kolo Toure said in the press conference. "He's training well and his rehab is going well. He's looking sharper and sharper. For sure we won't see him for the weekend but he's going through the process."

Rodri is progressing well week by week in his rehabilitation of a hamstring injury but remains sidelined for the time being. The Spaniard has been training well and is looking sharper and sharper, suggesting he should return before the end of the year. Until then, Nico Gonzalez is seeing a greater role in the midfield for Manchester City.
