Pep Guardiola Speaks Out on Jack Grealish Everton Form After Confirming Man City Blow

Rodri will miss Everton after a hamstring injury adds to his season of limited play, with only two full matches completed, Manchester City said.

  • Manchester City confirmed Rodri will miss Saturday's trip to Everton due to a hamstring injury sustained in City's 1-0 win at Brentford, prompting his withdrawal from Spain's World Cup qualifiers.
  • A prior ACL setback and a reported Club World Cup groin issue explain Rodri's limited availability, as he missed most of last season with ACL damage and has complained of knee pain in recent weeks.
  • Having played only nine times this season, Rodri's minutes have been limited as Pep Guardiola said `He is not ready for tomorrow` and is unsure when he will return.
  • The injury is another setback that complicates City's title push as Rodri's absence follows a season disrupted by knee surgery and Guardiola aims to reclaim the summit after Liverpool ended their reign in 2024/25.
  • Squad availability is further affected by Grealish's ineligibility to play at the Etihad, and Pep Guardiola said he has not spoken to Everton loanee Jack Grealish since his move.
