A vital midfielder may not be fit for the FA Cup final for Manchester City

Rodri has now missed the past five matches that Manchester City has played due to a groin injury. Manchester City’s midfield general hasn’t even made the City bench in any of those five games. Up next for Pep Guardiola’s side is the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday. As has become almost standard practice ahead of City’s recent matches, Rodri remains in doubt for the FA Cup final due to injury.

Pep Guardiola wasn’t aure if Rodri will be available to play against Chelsea.

After Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at the Etihad on Wednesday night, Pep Guardiola was asked if Rodri would be available for the FA Cup final against Chelsea. In quotes relayed by The Standard, Guardiola wasn’t sure if Rodri will be fit for the match against Chelsea. When asked if Rodri would be available, Guardiola said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. We’ll see in the next days.”

Manchester City may turn to their captain to fill Rodri’s shoes once again at Wembley.

Once again, Rodri’s availability for a big match for Manchester City is in question. Pep Guardiola faces the media later today and he may reveal then if Rodri will be fit to play against Chelsea at Wembley. City will be hoping that their midfield general can play against Calum McFarlane’s side as the middle battle will be key at Wembley.
