Manchester City midfielder Rodri is forced off with an apparent knee injury just moment before Arsenal equalise to make it 1-1 at the Etihad.
Manchester City will be sweating over the fitness of star midfielder Rodri after he was forced off in the first half of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
After playing the full 90 minutes in City’s 0-0 Champions League draw with Inter Milan on Wednesday, Rodri was handed another start in the engine room for the Citizens alongside Ilkay Gundogan for the clash with Mikel Arteta‘s Arsenal.
Immediately from kick-off, Rodri hit the deck clutching his face after a collision from the on-running Kai Havertz, but the Spaniard was fit to continue after receiving treatment.
However, Man City’s No.16 went down again – around 10 minutes after Erling Haaland opened the scoring for the hosts with his 100th goal for the club – following an innocuous coming-together with Thomas Partey at a corner.
Rodri ran towards the near post and a shoulder-to-shoulder nudge between himself and Partey resulted in the former jarring his knee whilst running before staying down for some time receiving treatment.
