“We don’t know the definitive diagnosis, but he will be out for a long time. Some opinions think it won’t be that long, but unfortunately he was injured. I don’t know for how long, because we are still waiting for the final calls (from the doctors) and what operation will be necessary,” Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday after eliminating the Watford in the League Cup.
“We didn’t want this, but we can still have a good season. I have confidence in my players and I have to find a solution. Rodri is irreplaceable and the team will play without the best midfielder in the world for a long, long time. “It’s a blow for us, but this is football and my task is to find a solution,” Guardiola added.
