"Give him vacation like an NBA." Guardiola on the cause of Rodri's injury

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has spoken out about the serious injury sustained by the team's star midfielder and Spanish international Rodri.

Details: The coach believes that the midfielder's injury is a result of an overly packed match schedule and his participation in Euro 2024.

Quote: "Rodri is injured because he played 75 games last season. Give him a month and a half to two months off after the Euros, like they do in the NBA.

After that, he can play 80 games if he wants to. But first, give him three months to rest," Guardiola told Fabrizio Romano.

Reminder: Rodri suffered a ligament injury in his right knee on September 22 during the Premier League's Matchweek 5 clash against Arsenal (2-2), sidelining him for an extended period.

Notably, Guardiola has previously voiced concerns about his own health issues.
