Pep Guardiola weighs up Rodri gamble for Liverpool showdown

Pep Guardiola hits out at referee Anthony Taylor after Manchester City victory

Manchester City midfielder Rodri is unlikely to play in Sunday's Premier League match against Liverpool, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola stated he is reluctant to risk Rodri due to an ongoing injury setback, which saw him miss the recent Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Rodri has made only six starts this season as he continues to recover from knee surgery that sidelined him for much of the 2024-25 campaign.

The manager highlighted the importance of Rodri returning to full fitness for the demanding season ahead, especially with an international break approaching.

The midfielder had recently returned to action as a substitute against Bournemouth after recovering from a hamstring problem.
