Injuries 2025/26 | Kovacic could be ruled out for further 3-4 months (p37)

[Marvin.]

The injury to Rodri might give him a good break before he trains for City v Everton

 

[CC1]

Sounds hopeful

Wrap him in cotton wool, give him all the time he needs. Nico is an able deputy and will benefit from a decent run in the team.

Rodri: "I'm good. I felt a little bit in the hamstring but it seems like it's not that much. The important thing was the victory. I stretched the leg a little, a bit like in the Euros final. I stretched a little but it's part of the process.
“I don't feel I feel tired muscle wise, I feel fresh but the most important is it's not that big. It's part of the process. The good thing about this is you get out, you don't let the muscle stretch now.
“The good thing is the break so it will be even better in this sense to recover these days and hopefully I can be in the next game…” [via @spbajko]

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

The difference to the team when Rodri is on the pitch compared to when he's not, is like "Night and Day".

Fingers crossed we can nurse him back to fitness during the International break, in time for the blue dippers in our next match.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Sounds like he just can’t be arsed with international duty.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Fucking love Rodri. 2 weeks off. Get on holiday lad.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

 

[Ric]

Good news. Hopefully Khusanov is involved too.

Shame

That is a blow. Hopefully both him and Rodri will be back soon.

Swapping Rodri for Nico is like swapping Haaland for Hoijlund.

 

[pride in battle]

Shame

Fuck...what is his injury ? His foot ?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Great news. A stronger squad for the next batch of games.

It really isn’t. Witty comment but totally untrue.

 

[hateutd]

It's a curse once again... maybe this old one from the gipsys of moss side... :( if it's not then why do many and serious injuries?

Que? We’ve got Rodders out with a minor strain, another week or two, and Khus who we’d expect to be pretty close too. Other than that no one out. Hardly a stress.

After that bastard Gabriel stepped on his foot, everyone heard his screams, even behind the TV screen. He received treatment and continued to play until halftime. He probably aggravated his injury.

After the return of some injured players like Kovacic, Ait Nouri, Marmoush, and Cherki, Pep surely feels he has enough players to not rush the return of Khusanov and Rodri, letting them rest and heal completely.

Only 2 of the squad not training is pretty good. Just a shame one is Rodri again.
