Ballon d'Or winner close to returning to the field. When can Guardiola count on Rodri?

Manchester City's leader is close to returning to the field. The player has spent a long time in the infirmary but will soon be able to help his team.

On the eve of the FA Cup match against Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola spoke about the condition of the Ballon d'Or winner and hinted that his return is imminent.

It would be great if he could play tomorrow, but right now it's the wrong decision. He behaves very well on the field, but competition is another matter. We must ensure that he is okay before entering the game.

It was previously reported that the Spanish specialist plans to use the player in the Club World Cup, which will take place this summer, but there is a high probability that the midfielder will be available sooner.

Recall that last September, Rodri tore his cruciate ligaments in a match against Arsenal and has been out of action since. Tomorrow, on March 30, the "Citizens" will play the FA Cup quarter-final match against Bournemouth. Earlier, we reported that Crystal Palace became the first semi-finalist.
