“Barcelona star midfielder Frenkie de Jong has revealed the single condition that could make him consider joining Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in January, following Rodri’s injury and Man City’s recent challenges.”

Manchester United is reportedly looking to address Rodri’s absence by pursuing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, as they seek a long-term solution.

Rodri, who limped off during the first half of Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday, has been consulting with specialists in Spain this week.

A statement on ManCity.com confirmed, “Manchester City can confirm that Rodri has suffered ligament damage in his right knee.” The injury occurred during the Premier League match against Arsenal.

Following initial tests in Manchester, Rodri traveled to Spain for further evaluation with a specialist. The full extent of the injury and his expected recovery time are still being assessed.

The club expressed their well-wishes for Rodri’s recovery and promised regular updates on his progress on ManCity.com.

While there is no definite timeline for his return, rumors suggest that Rodri could miss the remainder of the current season.
