Guardiola Confirms Rodri's Absence Against Burnley in Premier League Due to Injury

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has announced that Spanish midfielder Rodri will miss the team's upcoming Premier League match against Burnley due to injury. Guardiola stated in his remarks that he does not know the exact duration of the player's absence, expressing doubts about his readiness to participate in the team's upcoming fixtures in the near future.

Regarding the Spanish player's physical condition, Pep Guardiola said, "He will not be ready for tomorrow's game, and we will see what happens in the upcoming matches, whether in the semi-final against Southampton or in the Everton clash scheduled in 12 or 13 days." These statements come as Manchester City has yet to issue any official medical report clarifying the nature of their star midfielder's injury or setting a timeline for his return to action.

Rodri had left the field in the final minutes of Manchester City's last match against Arsenal, raising concerns about his health, especially since he had previously returned from a knee injury at the beginning of this year. Amidst the congested fixture schedule in Gameweek 34 of the Premier League, the club aims to accurately assess the player's situation before making decisions regarding his involvement in the remaining fixtures of the current season.
