The Blow to City: Rodri Misses the Premiere

He was named the European Championship's best player, but was injured and substituted in the final when his Spain beat England 2–1. Now it appears that midfield star Rodri is not available for play when reigning champions Manchester City kick off the Premier League season on Sunday away against Chelsea.

No chance, says coach Pep Guardiola when asked if the 28-year-old can play at the weekend.

Rodri has just started training again after the injury. The same applies to the English trio Phil Foden, John Stones, and Kyle Walker. It's not about injuries, but rather that they have just returned from vacation.

I'm pretty sure they're not ready for (playing) 90 minutes, maybe 15 minutes, says Guardiola.

Norwegian Oscar Bobb underwent surgery on Friday for a leg fracture that the 21-year-old talent suffered during a training session on Wednesday.

We hope everything goes well and we hope he can be back in three or four months, says Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City has four consecutive Premier League titles.
