Manchester City has welcomed Rodri and Erling Haaland to training before the last four games of the Premier League campaign and the World Cup campaign of the Premier League and the Summer Club World Championship.
If Pep Guardiola could have chosen the two most important players who are available to him, the names of his Star striker and the Talismani midfielder could be at the top of the list. Rodris ACL tear in September triggered a ruinous form rank for the dethroned champions, which crippled their attempt to defend the Premier League title.
Especially when Guardiola seemed to have discovered a solution for the Rodriin midfield puzzle, Haaland was tied to the sideline with an ankle injury in March.
By providing a new compact 4-2-2-2 system that Rodri and Haaland effectively replaces two players, Guardiola City has reached the FA Cup final and put itself in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League.
The conclusion from City to the campaign was further increased by the return of Rodri and Haaland to complete team training. The central defender of Nathan Ake and John Stones are not yet in the grass.
Guardiola refused to let in whether either Rodri or Haaland plays in the Premier League. “We are very happy that Erling is back and that Rodri is back in the training sessions,” the Catalan beamed. “The moment the official doctor says Rodri can start playing minutes – after that he will start playing minutes, but the doctors have to tell me.
“It was a difficult injury. It was an injury of seven to 11 months, said the doctor. Every day Rodri makes more sessions, but we have to wait so that it does not take a step backwards and injured again so that we have to be careful.
“Every training session feels better and when the doctor says, Rodri is stable and can start playing – after that he will come back.”
