Manchester City faces a grueling run of six matches in twenty days to end the 2025-26 season.

As of right now, Pep Guardiola’s side is three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand on Mikel Arteta’s side in the Premier League table. City could be six points behind Arsenal by the time they play Everton, with the Gunners facing Fulham at the Emirates Stadium later today. For the grueling run of matches ahead, City will be hoping that Rodri is fully fit for what lies ahead.

Rodri, alongside Bernardo Silva, is the heartbeat of this Manchester City side. The pair remain vital to City’s prospects this season, especially as it reaches its crescendo. In Rodri’s case, City will be hoping he can play a vital role for the run-in. Every game from here is a cup final for Manchester City. Rodri’s presence on the pitch will lift his team, as will his play. It is now a waiting game to see if Rodri will be fit for Monday night’s match against Everton and beyond.

Rodri remains in doubt for Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton. Pep Guardiola is hopeful that he will play at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. As are Manchester City. All eyes will be on City training for any update on Rodri’s fitness ahead of a massive match on Monday night.
