Rodri back in action for Man City after 2 months out injured
SUNDERLAND, England — Rodri made his return for Manchester City after two months out injured when he came on as a halftime substitute against Sunderland in the Premier League on Thursday.
The Spain midfielder last featured for City on Nov. 2 when he also entered as a substitute against Bournemouth.
The former Ballon d'Or winner had been out since then with a hamstring problem, the latest issue to afflict him in an injury-hit last 18 months.
Rodri replaced Nico Gonzalez in a match that finished 0-0 and set up one of the best chances, his floated pass over the Sunderland defense finding Josko Gvardiol for a header that was well saved.
