Rodri, the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or, said he wants to play in the 2025 Club World Cup. The player is doubtful for Manchester City due to an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee, which is still is recovering.
The midfielder would aim to return to the pitch for the Super World Cup in the United States, which will take place between June and July 2025, according to an interview given to Cope radio.
“The seasons are longer now, the Club World Cup ends on July 13th. I want to have this mental challenge”, commented the Spaniard. The end of the 24/25 season will be on May 31st, marked by the Champions League final.
For the World Cup, City will be able to take 35 players, listing 26 for each match. It is not yet known whether he will be well enough to play in the championship season, but even if he is not fit at the beginning, the large number of players to be listed makes it easier to include the midfielder in the squad, so that he can come into action later. .
Rodri’s ligament injury occurred in September, in a duel against Arsenal at the Eithad Stadium.
