Pep Guardiola, Manchester City president, says Rodri, the winner of the balloon, can return to work this season.
The midfielder training shots in Spain were published on Friday, less than 24 hours before they advanced to the quarter -finals of the FA Cup by beating Pleimmouth Arjil.
City officials are desperate to play any kind of direct time range on Rodri's return.
But given the extent of what was missed by the winner of the Euro 2024 – the Premier League champions are currently ranked fourth in the table, and 20 points behind the current leaders Liverpool after the eight defeat in the league – it is not surprising that the images will generate a great deal of excitement among their fans.
For the first time since Rodri suffered a major knee injury against Arsenal in September, Guardiola feels that 28 -year -old can appear before the end of the campaign, with FIFA World Cup followers in June.
“The fans should know that they are not the only ones who are enthusiastic,” the city president said. “Five or six months have passed.
“but [it’s] One step simultaneously. We do not have to make stupid decisions [for him] Coming weeks ago. He is not close to returning, but he touches the ball while he is in the cabinet room.
“He feels confident and happy.
“I couldn't expect before [him to return] Before the end of the season, not even to [Club] The World Cup, but perhaps it will happen. “
Guardiola also confirmed that defender Nathan Aki will face more tests about a problem that is afraid that the Netherlands will remain for some time.
“He is sometimes struggling with the feet,” he added. “It was such an entire season with the central defenders.”
The shortest Ake, 30 years old, has 18 games so far this season due to a series of short -term injuries and was taken off in the first half against Pleimmouth. Defender fellow John Stones and Manuel Akanji missed winning the FA Cup due to the injury.
