Rodri is expected to miss the rest of the season through injury, so how will Manchester City compensate for his absence?

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is sweating on the next medical bulletin for midfielder Rodri as speculation mounts that the Spaniard faces a lengthy lay-off with a knee injury.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri will have further tests on the knee injury that looks set to rule him out for an extended period of time. Rodri travelled to Spain yesterday for initial tests on the injury sustained in the early stages of City 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.
