Man City suffer injury blow as Rodri 'sustains torn cruciate ligament'

Manchester City star Rodri could be 'ruled out for the remainder of the season' after reports in Spain have claimed the midfielder suffered a 'torn cruciate ligament in his right knee' during his side's 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

According to MARCA the City defender 'sustained a cruciate ligament tear' during Sunday's game at the Etihad Stadium. They claim a 'more definitive diagnosis' will be available later on Monday with the midfielder 'set to undergo tests in Spain'. 

The Spanish midfielder went down clutching his leg in agony after only 16 minutes of the Premier League clash, after seeming to jar his knee while contesting for the ball inside his own penalty area. 

The 28-year-old writhed on the ground in pain, before appearing to hold back tears as he limped from the field alongside City's medical staff. 

MARCA claims that the Spaniard 'is currently travelling to Madrid to undergo a new examination to confirm the serious injury. He also plans to visit several specialists to make a decision regarding the operation.'
