Pep Guardiola has given an update on the possibility of when Rodri will return from injury as the season gets into its busiest part.

Guardiola was speaking in a press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup fourth round clash against Swansea on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. According to him, there is no confirmation as to when Rodri will return from injury.

He said,

“There’s no timeframe for Rodri’s return yet. He’s not ready yet. For sure he’s getting better, training with us partially. But after what happened two times, prior incidents in muscular, we’re going to see how he evolves this week”.

City’s unbeaten streak came to a halt at nine games in all competitions on Sunday as Matty Cash’s 19th minute strike from distance proved to be the difference between a resolute Aston Villa side and a lacklustre Manchester City group at Villa Park.

Guardiola started John Stones in defensive midfield at the weekend – an experiment that has paid dividends in the past – but a lack of legs in the middle of the park was a key Achilles heel for the Blues in Birmingham. Manchester City have fantastic for the best part of this season despite a minor setback against Aston Villa on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The momentum on their side as they look to challenge on all fronts this term in the backdrop of a subpar and trophyless 2024-25 campaign.
