EPL: Guardiola Gives Positive Rodri Injury Update Ahead Man City vs Brentford

Pep Guardiola said Rodri will be assessed on Friday as Manchester City aim to keep pace in the Premier League title race.

  • On Friday, Pep Guardiola confirmed Manchester City midfielder Rodri remains a fitness doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford. The Spaniard will undergo final assessments to determine his availability.
  • The Blues have struggled without the Ballon d'Or winner since he suffered a groin injury during the 2-1 win over Arsenal last month. City now trails leaders Arsenal by five points following Monday's 3-3 draw with Everton.
  • Defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias have returned to training after lengthy absences. Guardiola said Gvardiol is "good," describing him as "an important player; central defender, full-back, can play different roles."
  • With only three Premier League matches remaining, City must secure a victory at the Etihad Stadium to maintain pressure on Arsenal. Guardiola told reporters, "I love to play at home, what can I say."
  • Brentford arrives at the Etihad Stadium in strong form, having lost only one of their last eight league games. The Bees are pushing to qualify for a European competition for the first time in their history.
