Will Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante, better known as Rodri, be ready to play on Tuesday night at Villarreal? How is his hamstring injury recovery coming along? It sounds like Man City’s midfield maestro is projected to possibly come back on Sunday, against Aston Villa.
We don’t think we’ll see Rodri feature this midweek against the Yellow Submarine in continental competition.

The return timeline is similar for Rayan Ait-Nouri, who has missed the last eight games with an ankle injury
Elsewhere Abdukodir Khusanov will remain sidelined here with a calf problem. It doesn’t sound like he’ll be back against Aston Villa either.
It’s more likely that his return comes against Welsh side Swansea City, in the EFL Cup, three days after that.
Other than this trio, City have a fully fit squad right now, having just beaten Everton 2-0 on the weekend.
