Midfielder Rodri: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said injured midfielder Rodri will be out of action "for a long time" but the club is still waiting for doctors to confirm the severity of the knee injury sustained by the Spaniard.

Rodri limped out of a Premier League draw with Arsenal last Sunday and has since been undergoing tests to determine the extent of his injury. He picked up an apparent knee injury after colliding with Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey during a Manchester City corner.

Speaking to the media after Tuesday night’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Watford, Guardiola said, "Still we don’t have the definite. Will be out for a long time, a while. But there are some opinions that it may be less than we expect. Right now I can’t tell you. We’re waiting on the last phone calls from the doctors. What he has and what type of surgery he has to get."
