Manchester City Welcomes Return of Their Ballon d’Or Winner
Manchester City eagerly anticipates the return of their key midfielder, Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, commonly known as Rodri. The 29-year-old player has been sidelined for over two months due to a thigh injury. He only made a brief appearance in a match against Bournemouth, playing just one minute.
Rodri’s Comeback Enhances City’s Title Challenge
Rodri’s presence on the pitch is a significant boost for Manchester City as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title. Pep Guardiola, the team’s head coach, confirmed Rodri’s availability during a press conference on Wednesday. He stated, “Rodri is back. Perhaps he will play a few minutes. I am really excited.”
Upcoming Matches and Team Status
Manchester City will face Sunderland on Thursday, and a victory would help them stay competitive with league leaders, Arsenal. The team is also preparing for a crucial match against Chelsea on Sunday.
Injuries and Other Player Updates
Alongside Rodri, there are hopes for the return of Jérémy Doku in the upcoming game. However, the team will still be without John Stones and Oscar Bobb due to ongoing injuries.
As Manchester City gears up for these important matches, the return of their Ballon d’Or winner brings renewed hope and strength to their lineup.
