The Spain international also injured his meniscus “This season is over (for him),” City manager Pep Guardiola said MANCHESTER: Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his damaged ACL on Friday. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The Spain international also injured his meniscus. “This season is over (for him),” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “We are there to support him in a good recovery, step by step and move forward.” Rodri injured his right knee in the first half of City’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday. City hoped the injury would not be as bad as first feared, but confirmation of ACL damage — which can take from six months to a year to recover from — meant the four-time defending English Premier League champion will be without one of their most influential players for the remainder of this campaign. “We don’t have a similar player, but the other players all together can replace what Rodri has given since he arrived to us,” Guardiola said. “We have to do it as a team and we have to find a way to play a lot of months without an important player for us.”
