Injury update: Guardiola reveals latest on Rodri

Pep Guardiola says Rodri will likely play again after the international break.

Though the City boss has not completely ruled out Rodri featuring against Liverpool, he hinted he does not want to risk the Spain star if he is not feeling 100%.

“We will see tomorrow,” said Pep.

“I think we won’t take a risk ahead of the international break. We have to find the moment he feels strong and fit to sustain the actions in the game properly.

“Still we are in November, and the best of the season is ahead of us and we need him.

“We are playing without the Ballon d’Or winner of two seasons ago and a massively important player for us.

“Nico is becoming a really good, important player.”
