Barcelona could receive a massive boost ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League meeting with Manchester City, with Rodri reportedly optimistic about being fit for the December 8 showdown.
According to Sport, the midfielder is convinced that he can recover in time for the important European encounter, following encouraging progress in his rehabilitation.
Both Rodri and Barcelona’s medical staff are reportedly positive about his recovery, with recent developments suggesting that his return could be getting closer.
His potential availability would be particularly important for Barcelona. Rodri’s ability to control possession, dictate the tempo, break up opposition attacks and provide defensive protection makes him an influential presence in midfield.
A meeting against Manchester City would also add another layer of excitement, given his history with the English champions and his understanding of their footballing philosophy.
However, Barcelona will not want to take unnecessary risks with his fitness. The medical team will continue monitoring his condition before making a final decision on his return.
The priority is ensuring that Rodri comes back fully fit and ready to make an impact.
