Arsenal gets boosts as key Man City player might miss several games
Arsenal have received an indirect boost in the Premier League title race after Manchester City reportedly lost Rodri to injury again, with the midfielder potentially set to miss several matches.
The Spain international is widely viewed as the player who drives City’s rhythm and control, and he delivered another strong performance against Arsenal at the weekend. His influence in midfield has often been central to Manchester City’s success under Pep Guardiola.
Rodri is generally considered one of the most important figures in the City squad, and their record with him available has consistently underlined his value. When he is fit and playing, City are usually more balanced, composed and difficult to stop.
Rodri Absence Could Affect City
That importance makes any absence particularly significant during the closing weeks of a title race. According to Standard Sports, Rodri has been ruled out of Manchester City’s next league match against Burnley and will also miss their FA Cup fixture at the weekend.
If that proves accurate, City may face a demanding run of fixtures without one of their most influential players.
For Arsenal, such news may be viewed as a potential advantage, even if their primary focus remains on winning their own matches. Any setback suffered by a direct rival naturally changes the landscape of a close title race.
