Now the choice is up to Luis De la Fuente.
Details: At today's press conference, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola was asked by a journalist whether there was a chance that the 29-year-old holding midfielder for the Citizens and the Spanish national team, Rodri, could miss the World Cup.
Guardiola's answer made the journalists smile at first, then left them a bit anxious:
"Is there a chance Rodri could miss the World Cup? No!
Actually, yes! There is a chance, if Luis De la Fuente doesn't call him up to the national team!" Guardiola stated.
This season, Rodri has struggled with injuries, preventing him from playing a full campaign, which casts doubt on his place in the final "La Roja" squad for the 2026 World Cup.
