Manchester City midfielder Rodri is determined to return to action for the 2024-25 football season. Despite the usual nine-month layoff for athletes who undergo ACL surgery.
The 2024 Ballon d’Or award degree was unlucky. The right ‘ACL’ was damaged in the game. That drew with Arsenal 2-2 in September. He went under the knife and now it’s been 2 months of the recovery process UFABET
However, seeing his teammates lose 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions has made the Spanish player anxious. To the point of challenging himself to come back and help his teammates at the end of the season.
“My goal is to come back this season. I’m not giving up on it but at the same time. I don’t want to make mistakes.” he told BBC Sport’s ‘The Rest Is Football’ podcast.
“Aiming to recuperate for 6-7 months.”
“Everything went better than I thought. I was happy to have a break, to be honest.”
“My current feeling is not like a broken one. My knee is stable. I am sure it will not turn out too bad. Also, our mental state must be good. That is how it is now.”
“The first six weeks were so painful that I couldn’t even walk. But now it’s easier.” Rodri said.
The final match of the English Premier League season is on 25 May 2025. Or 6 months from now, while the FA Cup final is on 17 May.
Then, Man City are scheduled to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup. Which will be held in the United States from June 15 to July 13, with 32 clubs competing .
