Latest Rodri injury update ahead of Man City’s crucial Brentford clash
Pep Guardiola hopes key midfielder Rodri will be fit to return from a groin injury for Manchester City's Premier League match against Brentford on Saturday.
Rodri has been unavailable since 19 April, and City dropped crucial points in his absence, drawing 3-3 with Everton in their last outing.
Guardiola acknowledged the team looked unbalanced without Rodri but insisted the draw against Everton was not solely due to his absence.
The recent draw has shifted momentum in the title race towards Arsenal, who are now five points clear of City, though City have a game in hand.
Guardiola also confirmed that Manchester City is close to agreeing a new contract for Phil Foden.
