Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been ruled out for the rest of the season, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
The club have now learned the influential Spain international suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage to his right knee in last weekend’s draw with Premier League rivals Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
The 28-year-old has undergone surgery and will not be available again until next season.
