Rodri will miss Manchester City’s Premier League meeting with Burnley on Wednesday night, handing Arsenal a small boost as the title race moves into its final stretch.
There is every chance more Arsenal supporters will be watching events at Turf Moor than City fans themselves, with Pep Guardiola’s side knowing a win by two clear goals or more would send them to the top of the table with five games left to play.
That leaves little room for error for Arsenal, so any setback for City is bound to draw attention, even if the champions should still be expected to have too much for a Burnley side sitting 19th in the table.
