Rodri suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday and may miss the rest of the season as a result, handing the champions a serious blow in their bid to win a fifth successive Premier League crown.

The 28-year-old was forced off after 21 minutes at the Etihad Stadium having gone down under minimal contact following a challenge by Thomas Partey inside the Arsenal area but in clear agony.
