It’s over for us, Liverpool will win the league”- HUGE BLOW as Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City amazing superstar has suffered a HUGE injury damage after critically damaging his ankle in their match against Arsenal. The player, along with Kelvin De Bruyne, is expected to miss Manchester City match for the rest of the season
Pep Guardiola will be worried after witnessing his key defensive midfielder, Rodri, leave the pitch with a potentially serious knee injury during Manchester City’s 2-2 match against Arsenal.
Although further medical assessments are needed to determine the full extent of the injury, early reports from David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano on X suggest that the Spanish player may be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Gary Lineker also weighed in on Liverpool’s performance under their new head coach, Arne Slot.
Rodri’s absence could have a major effect on both Liverpool and Arsenal’s chances in the title race. Data from Opta Analyst indicates that without the 28-year-old, City’s defeat rate jumps from 10.9% to 33.3%.
This development could potentially shift the balance in favor of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, and also make things more interesting for Arne Slot’s Liverpool. Although Slot isn’t expected to clinch the title in his debut season, Rodri’s injury certainly spices up the competition.
