Man City and Spain Midfielder Rodri to Have Back Surgery After Winning the World Cup
The Manchester City midfielder may need an operation after Spain’s 1-0 World Cup final win, and the injury could delay his season debut.
- On Sunday, Rodri, the Spain midfielder, was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player after captaining his side to a 1-0 World Cup final victory over Argentina in New Jersey.
- The 30-year-old Manchester City midfielder returned to top form during the World Cup despite two injury-plagued seasons that limited him to just 17 Premier League starts.
- Rodri now faces a potential back operation that could rule him out for the start of the season, casting uncertainty over his future at City with his contract expiring next June.
- City has identified Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga and Fulham's Sander Berge as potential midfield signings, while manager Enzo Maresca hopes to retain Rodri.
- Elsewhere, Leeds is in advanced discussions to sign goalkeeper James Trafford for £50m, while Barcelona has signed German winger Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund on a deal until 2031.
