Now comes the next positive message: Rodri is back on the training pitch after his cruciate ligament injury.
When the 28-year-old tore his cruciate ligament in a Premier League match against Arsenal in September, the prognosis was that he would miss the rest of the season. On Friday, the club released a video clip where Rodri was seen on the pitch with a ball, albeit in individual training.
Coach Pep Guardiola has, however, toned down the expectations that last year's winner of the Ballon d'Or – the award for the world's best player – will be back in play this season.
It's going really well and he feels really well, but we'll see step by step, said Guardiola recently, according to BBC.
