Pep Guardiola prioritizes Premier League title run-in over risking Rodri in FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
For me, that type of midfielder, I think Rodri was the pinnacle when he won the Ballon d'Or. He hasn't quite hit those levels [since] because of injury. I think he's slightly different to Rice. I think Rice has a little bit more going forward. Rice can play as a No.6 at a really top-class level but I think you're taking a little bit away from what he can offer when you get him to stay there.
Reijnders insists he is willing to play in any position in Manchester City's midfield under Pep Guardiola amid Rodri's injury setback. He scored two goals in a pre-season friendly.
