Guardiola rethinks after puzzling week for City star

Manchester City’s Rodri began the week nursing a bad knee but somehow ended up starting twice in five days. Guardiola admitted the Spaniard isn’t ready for three games a week—and then gave him two in one, like a manager doing maths with a calculator on low battery.

After limping off at Brentford, Rodri assured it’s not serious and hopes to face Everton soon. City will tread carefully next time, eager to get their midfield maestro back at his best.
