One major fitness question surrounds Manchester City ahead of tonight’s clash with Everton
One major fitness question surrounds Manchester City ahead of tonight’s clash with Everton Manchester City know the equation they are faced with entering tonight’s Premier League fixture against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side must pick up three points to keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta’s side are six points clear of City ahead of tonight’s match.
City do, however, have two games in hand on Mikel Arteta’s side. Ahead of tonight’s match, there is one major question mark surrounding Manchester City. That surrounds Rodri’s availability.
It isn’t immediately clear if Manchester City’s midfield general will be fit to participate in a match that City simply must win. Manchester City are still waiting to see if Rodri will be fit to play against Everton. Speaking on Friday, ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Everton, Pep Guardiola revealed that Rodri was yet to return to training.
The Spanish midfielder suffered a calf injury in the latter stages of Manchester City’s crucial 2-1 win over Arsenal just over two weeks ago. Rodri has subsequently missed Manchester City’s past two wins over Burnley and Southampton. Manchester City were never going to take any risks with Rodri’s fitness.
Especially after his battle to get back to full fitness earlier this season. It isn’t immediately clear if Rodri has trained with his Manchester City teammates ahead of tonight’s match. In images shared on mancity.
