City boss insists no injury fears for midfield star
Pep Guardiola said Rodri was taken off against Monaco for tactical reasons, not injury, after concerns from his knee problem last season. Rodri is ‘perfect’ and could feature at Brentford, though Pep doubts he can manage three high-intensity matches in a week.
Nico Gonzalez replaced him but conceded a late penalty. Guardiola praised his effort, jokingly proving that at City substitutions aren’t roulette—though in Monaco it sure looked like the ball landed on red.
