The lack of transparency around what’s exactly going on with him is becoming incredibly grating. At what point does he come back? Never? Why isn’t there any meaningful update of substance?
Because City never talk about injuries in detail.

I'd care more if Nico Gonzales wasn't smashing it.

Whilst I do agree Nico G has had a monumental upturn this season and is filling in for Rodri thus far this season with great success, I do firmly believe that if we want to win the league or Champions League, we need Rodri back in that midfield.
For as good as he has been this season, I don't think we will win enough of the big games with Nico G in midfield.
We go from being a very good team with Nico G in midfield, to a world class team once again once we get Rodri back.
Our spine would be as good as anything in Europe. Arguably the best.

I don't want him rushed back. We tried that earlier in the season, which didn't work out too well. Nico G is doing fine for now.Whilst I do agree Nico G has had a monumental upturn this season and is filling in for Rodri thus far this season with great success, I do firmly believe that if we want to win the league or Champions League, we need Rodri back in that midfield.

You're basing that on Rodri coming back as he was before the injury. I honestly don't think he will

I wouldn't think he's being rushed back. It's 82 days (5th Oct) since he sustained what is believed to be a hamstring injury against Brentford.
Hopefully he's in a much better place both mentally and physically.

Forgot he played for us tbh
He will never be the player he once was but he can get back to being an exceptional midfielder once again.
Anyone expecting Ballon d'Or Rodri back, even this time next year after full recovery, is going to be disappointed.
Wrong.
Much too long for someone in their late twenties. People saying sit out another year are being beyond careful. He's long past a reasonable time for a return to playing fitness. If I'm running the squad I'm proceeding with the idea that we need another player who can play in the 6. It's a damn shame for Rodri, the club and all of us supporters that this has happened. If by some chance he's able to make it back, great, but there's no way City should be counting on it...Nico looks like he needs a rest. I hope Rodri’s absence doesn’t go on much longer. If we have neither that’s not good for us.
I think it’s time to buy another midfielder anyway.
Rodri has missed nearly all of 1.5 seasons now.
Wrong what? Do you honestly believe Rodri will return to the level he was at when he went down 15 months ago? Unfortunately, he's already been sidelined too long for that to happen.Wrong.
Again with the TDS. LMFAOIt's insane that millions of cunts voted for Trump but yet here we are.

I don't see why not.Wrong what? Do you honestly believe Rodri will return to the level he was at when he went down 15 months ago? Unfortunately, he's already been sidelined too long for that to happen.
Why do you think? Because he's cooked and the club don't want to tip off any potential transfer partners that we're in any way desperate. As if the fact that he's become the unplayable man is fooling anyone.The lack of transparency around what’s exactly going on with him is becoming incredibly grating. At what point does he come back? Never? Why isn’t there any meaningful update of substance?
Then quite frankly you don't have much experience with timelines regarding positive or negative outcomes relative to these type of injuries...I don't see why not.

Because the club are basically lying?It’s weird every time ask about him they say he is close! How can you be close for a month and don’t even make the bench!?
Facts...He will never be the player he once was but he can get back to being an exceptional midfielder once again.

Very rare a footballer can in effect have 18 months out after a serious career threatening injury at near 30 years old and come back the same player.
I am more concerned whether or not he signs a new contract in the next few months. If that doesn't happen he wants out in the summer, and City won't allow him to run down his contract.

Massive speculation on Rodri’s ability to stay fit and also his contract situation.
All we can do is ease him back in again and see what happens.
Signing a contract or not is here nor there. The club has stood by him during this difficult period. I would be very surprised if that wasn’t a huge factor when thinking about his future.

But if he’s ready then 10 mins tomorrow is a good feelerI don't want him rushed back. We tried that earlier in the season, which didn't work out too well. Nico G is doing fine for now.
