In Manchester City's registered squad for the Champions League is the Spaniard included.

Rodri, last year's winner of the Ballon d'Or, tore a cruciate ligament against Arsenal early in the autumn. The verdict was: no play for the next six to seven months.

But if the rehabilitation goes according to plan and City goes far in the Champions League, there is a possibility that Rodri will make a long-awaited comeback.

City was drawn against Real Madrid in the round of 16. The first match is played as early as Tuesday with the return match on February 19. In a potential quarterfinal, either Atlético Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen awaits.

The quarterfinals begin on April 8.
