Rodri expected to miss rest of Manchester City's season with a torn ACL
This is a massive, massive bummer for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. On Sunday, MCFC faced off with Arsenal and they were able to rescue a late point thanks to a dramatic goal from defender John Stones. However, there was some bad news earlier in the action.
Playmaker Rodri was forced off the pitch due to injury and plenty of concerns arrived. Now, it has been reported that Rodri has suffered a serious knee injury and he's expected to miss the rest of the campaign. This is a huge blow for City:
🚨🔵 Rodri will undergo more tests in the next hours but Manchester City expect him miss the remainder of the season with ACL injury.

The initial feeling after first tests is for an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, as @moillorens reports. pic.twitter.com/XVLvDa3tyP
It's likely an ACL tear for Rodri, which will sideline him for quite some time. He's one of the best players on this team, no doubt about that. City is looking to win its fifth Premier League title in a row, but that task is now going to be much tougher with Rodri out of action.
