Title Race Shaken as Rodri Ruled Out of Burnley Clash
Manchester City have suffered a setback in the Premier League title race after head coach Pep Guardiola confirmed Rodri will miss the trip to Burnley with a groin injury. The Spaniard underwent medical scans following City’s 2-1 win over Arsenal and is officially ruled out of Saturday’s match at Turf Moor. Guardiola offered no clear return date, raising doubts over Rodri’s availability for the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton. In Rodri’s absence, Guardiola is expected to turn to Nico Gonzalez to anchor midfield. The coach reiterated his faith in the squad’s depth as City chase silverware on multiple fronts. Arsenal, meanwhile, prepare to host Newcastle at the Emirates this weekend, sensing an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table.
