The Manchester City midfielder may need an operation after Spain’s 1-0 World Cup final win, and the injury could delay his season debut.
- On Sunday, Rodri, the Spain midfielder, was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player after captaining his side to a 1-0 World Cup final victory over Argentina in New Jersey.
- The 30-year-old Manchester City midfielder returned to top form during the World Cup despite two injury-plagued seasons that limited him to just 17 Premier League starts.
