On the eve of a crucial Premier League clash against West Ham, Pep Guardiola was keen to clarify the situation regarding his key midfielder Rodri. Absent due to a ruptured cruciate ligament, the Catalan coach insists on caution and patience in the process of recovering the 2024 Ballon d’Or.The important thing is that he recovers well… The goal is that he recovers well to be ready at the end of the season. This is the objective“, Guardiola said at a press conference. The Manchester City strategist knows how Rodri’s return to full fitness could be decisive for the Skyblues’ ambitions in the final sprint.
“He still has a lot to improve”
Guardiola also took the opportunity to discuss Savinho’s progress: “I think his first goal with City will help him. He had chances, but he didn’t manage to score and I’m sure he will give us some good moments. He’s very young, it’s his first season in England, I think he played very well when he played. But he is very young and he still has a lot to improve“, he added. He hopes to be able to count on the emancipation of the Brazilian to get his 2025 off to a good start!
