Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden says losing Rodri to suspension is a blow.
Rodri is facing a three-match ban after being sent off for clashing with Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White during yesterday's win.
Goalscoer Froden said: He is one of our most important players and he seems to play all the minutes. He is going to be a big miss, but we have players to step up now and we are going to need them."
He continued: I thought we showed a different side to the team," Foden said.
It was not ideal with Rodri getting a red card so early in the second half, but I thought we showed heart and desire a different side to the team that we sometimes need to show.
I am really happy with the performance. We dug deep."
