In the fifth round of the Premier League match between Manchester City and Arsenal, one of City's key players, Rodri, suffered a serious injury.

Spain’s national team head coach, Luis de la Fuente, shared how he plans to replace the midfielder in "La Roja's" lineup.

Quote: "For me, Rodri is the best player in the world in his position and a fantastic captain. It's a huge loss, but we're fortunate to have the second-best player in this position — Martín Zubimendi.

At the Spanish federation, we always prioritize the health of football, and unfortunately, we are witnessing many injuries, with Rodri being one of them. From here, I send him a warm embrace, and we hope he recovers soon," said the coach to journalists.

Reminder: The City and Spain midfielder faces a long recovery. Rodri underwent surgery, and we won’t see him on the pitch for the remainder of the current season.
