"Manchester City midfielder Rodri was pictured back in training ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Swansea. The influential City man has endured a disrupted start to the campaign due to injuries, having missed the majority of last season due to an ACL injury. He was absent from Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa and last weekend's win at Everton following a foot injury against Villarreal, with mamager Pep Guardiola suggesting the 29-year-old would be out for a little longer."
"But a photo circulating on social media suggests the 2024 Ballon d'Or will soon be available to Guardiola after being pictured in first-team training. Guardiola will be desperate to have his key midfielder back, with the loss at Villa courtesy of Matty Cash's goal seeing them fall six points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League title race. His importance to the side was underlined against Unai Emery's side, with Tijjani Reijnders featuring in a holding midfield role to little success."
