Rodri Doubt for Chelsea Clash
Manchester City face a potential midfield crisis for their opening Premier League game against Chelsea, with star midfielder Rodri unlikely to be fit. The Spaniard, who played a crucial role in Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph, was granted extended time off and missed the Community Shield.
With Rodri not due back at the Etihad until Wednesday, just days before the Chelsea clash, Pep Guardiola faces a dilemma. The manager will have to decide whether to risk the midfielder, who may still be carrying a knock from the Euros final, or opt for alternative options in the heart of the City midfield.
