Manchester Evening News\u2019 Simon Bajkowski<\/a> after City\u2019s 0-1 win over Brentford, Rodri revealed that he is feeling \u2018good\u2019 amid concern over a potentially serious hamstring injury.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m good. I felt a little bit in the hamstring but it seems like it\u2019s not that much. The important thing was the victory. I stretched the leg a little, a bit like in the Euros final. I stretched a little but it\u2019s part of the process,\u201d Rodri explained.<\/p>\n
The Spanish midfielder continued, \u201cI don\u2019t feel I feel tired muscle wise, I feel fresh but the most important is it\u2019s not that big. It\u2019s part of the process. The good thing about this is you get out, you don\u2019t let the muscle stretch now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe good thing is the break so it will be even better in this sense to recover these days and hopefully I can be in the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodri\u2019s comments will come as a huge relief to Manchester City fans, particularly with fixtures against Aston Villa and Everton in the Premier League to follow after the international break, and European clashes against Villarreal and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola has already rotated heavily in midfield in recent weeks \u2013 notably giving opportunities to Nico Gonz\u00e1lez, who was publicly backed by his manager after a difficult display against AS Monaco \u2013 and the prospect of losing Rodri again would have caused significant tactical disruption.<\/p>\n
With the two-week international break now arriving at an ideal time, Manchester City\u2019s medical staff will monitor the Spaniard\u2019s condition closely. Should his recovery progress as expected, Rodri is anticipated to return to full training before the squad reconvenes.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola will be desperate to have his midfield lynchpin available as Manchester City continue their push to climb back into the Premier League\u2019s early leading back, following an somewhat uneven start to the season but an ongoing seven-game unbeaten streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City midfielder Rodri has provided a significant update on the injury concern sustained during Sunday afternoon\u2019s 0-1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56739,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[42655,42660,42659,30065,20908,42658,22095,41742,85,46,2617,42656,13474,2619,32749,42657,105,19685],"class_list":["post-56738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-acl-injury","tag-as-monaco","tag-aston-villa","tag-borussia-dortmund","tag-brentford","tag-concern","tag-erling-haaland","tag-everton","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-manchester-city","tag-manchester-evening-news","tag-pep-guardiola","tag-premier-league","tag-rodri","tag-sir-alex-ferguson","tag-sports","tag-villarreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
