Spain have suffered a setback ahead of their upcoming fixtures as Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been ruled out due to injury. The star midfielder picked up the issue during club duty and has now been withdrawn from Spain’s national squad as a precaution.
Team doctors confirmed that Rodri is suffering from muscle discomfort and will need rest to recover fully. The decision was made jointly by Manchester City and Spain’s medical staff to avoid aggravating the injury.
Rodri has been a key figure for both club and country, playing a crucial role in Manchester City’s recent successes and Spain’s strong performances in international competitions. His absence is expected to be felt deeply, especially with Spain preparing for important Euro 2025 qualifiers.
The Spanish Football Federation has not announced a replacement yet but is monitoring several midfield options. Meanwhile, Manchester City will also assess Rodri’s condition ahead of their upcoming Premier League and Champions League fixtures.
The midfielder’s recovery timeline remains uncertain, but early reports suggest he could return to action after a short rest period if there are no complications.
