Rodri ruled out for Man City

The loss of the Spanish international comes at a critical juncture in the title race as City look to overtake Arsenal at the top of the table.

Rodri limped off during the closing stages of the team's recent victory over the Gunners, sparking fears of a significant absence.

Guardiola will also be without defender Ruben Dias, who remains sidelined with a persistent issue.

The team's depth will be tested as they navigate a busy schedule of domestic and European fixtures in the final weeks of the season.
