Manchester City returned to training without Rodri on Thursday as the central midfielder continues to struggle for consistent fitness.
Rodri featured for only 22 minutes of City’s slender 1-0 victory at Brentford before the international break and has played just two full games all season.
The Spain international was forced off with a hamstring problem similar to the one sustained during the 2024 European Championship final.
Rodri sat out the international fixtures and claimed that the issue wasn’t major – but he hasn’t linked back up with Pep Guardiola’s side before they face Everton at the weekend.
