Manchester City midfielder Rodri faces a potentially season-ending injury after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Arsenal. The 28-year-old Spanish international limped off holding his right knee and tests confirmed the severity of the injury. Rodri's absence would severely impact City's Premier League and Champions League ambitions. He has been instrumental in City's success, losing just one of his last 84 games for club and country. Manager Pep Guardiola praised Rodri's toughness, saying he only left the pitch because he felt something. Rodri was touted as a potential Ballon d'Or winner after his impressive performances.
