The injury caused the Spanish Midfilder to lose most of the last season and missed the new campaign.
The Midfielder Rodrey Club is recovering from the “great injury”, which may be limited to the time of playing Balon de or Winner in the early stages of the new Premier League season, called Manchester City Manager Pep Gardio.
Gardiola did not disclose the details of the injury, but Spain’s 29 -year -old international team completed the issue. 4-3 losses of the city Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in the 16 rounds of the Club World Cup in July.
According to British media reports, Rodrei suffered a cat injury.
Due to the broken anterior cruciate ligaments, Rodri returned to competitive action after action only eight months later.
Prior to the friendly match against the Italian side Pellero, Gardiol told reporters on Friday, “Rodri is getting better, but he has suffered a major injury in the last match against Al Hilal.”
“He has provided good training in the last few days. He will be really fit in the international break (in September).
“Hopefully he can play for a few minutes in the games (the first three premier league) games, but importantly he does not have pain because we do not want to injure the roddry. We will try hard to avoid it.
“He is training the last two sessions with us and that’s good.”
The city, which has a third place in the last season, launches a premier league campaign against Walvharhampton Wanderers from August 16.
