Rest is football

The Rest Is Football: Manchester City midfielder Rodri is aiming to return to action before the season ends after suffering a ruptured ACL in his right knee during the team's 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September. Manager Pep Guardiola initially ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign.

Since Rodri's injury, City have gone six games without a win across all competitions, and the Spanish international hopes to rejoin his teammates before the season concludes.

"My target is to come back this season. I don't give up on this season, (but) I don't want to make any mistakes. My target is six or seven months. I am doing much better than I thought. I am enjoying the rest, if it possible to say it that way," Rodri told The Rest Is Football podcast.
