Est. Return 5/4/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rodri only had a small sample after an ACL tear left him sidelined for nearly the entire campaign. He returned for the final few games and saw even more time during the Club World Cup, so the thought is that he'll be close to 100 percent for the start of 2025/26. If that's the case and he remains fit, he could hold his usual midfield role the majority of the season with 30-plus starts in play. At his peak a couple years ago, he was frequently involved in goals, totaling eight goals and nine assists. It's hard to see him being near those numbers this season, but as long as he's on the pitch, he'll have the ball near the top of the box and good things usually happen for City in those instances.
Remains doubtful for Everton clash
Rodri (groin) didn't rejoin team training yet but is improving, leaving a slight chance of seeing him making the matchday squad for Monday's clash against Everton, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "He is getting better. Still hasn't trained with us, so we will see."
ANALYSIS
Rodri has been sidelined since picking up a groin issue against Arsenal and the club has been careful not to rush him back given how crucial he is to City's title push in the final weeks of the season. The tone of coach Guardiola's comments is slightly more optimistic than in recent updates, leaving a slim possibility of a return for Monday's fixture, though the club will not take any risks if he is not fully ready. Bernardo Silva and Nico O'Reilly have been covering the defensive midfield duties in his absence, with every available Rodri minute now precious as the title race enters its decisive phase.

He's not likely to play, so we don't want to take the risk. I don't know yet [if he will feature against Everton - hopefully, but as I say, we don't want to take risks. If he's injured, we lose him for the next three, and he's so important."
