Pep Guardiola The Manchester City coach confirmed in a press conference that Rodrigo Hernández will be out for a “long, long time” after the injury sustained on Sunday against Arsenal.
The Spanish midfielder left the field in the first half against Arsenal after a bad move to his right knee. Although the final analysis has not been made public, since then Rodri visited various specialists in Barcelona and Madrid, Everything points to a torn cruciate ligament, which could keep him out for the rest of the season.
Pending definitive diagnosis
“We don’t know the definitive diagnosis, but he will be out for a long time. There are some opinions that believe it will not be that long, but unfortunately he has been injured. I don’t know how long, because we are still waiting the last calls (from the doctors) and what surgery is needed,” said the Spanish coach after eliminating Watford from the League Cup (2-1).
“We didn’t like it, but we can still have a good season. I trust my players and I have to find a solution. Rodri is irreplaceable and the team will play without the best midfielder in the world for a long time. “It’s a big blow for us, but this is football and my job is to find a solution,” added Guardiola.
