Manchester City have confirmed midfielder Rodri suffered a knee ligament injury against Arsenal in their Premier League football match at the weekend

He was substituted in the 21st minute after twisting his joint in a collision at a corner.

No timescale has yet been put on his recovery but surgery is likely and the recovery's expected to take weeks if not months.

Manager Pep Guardiola has described the 28-year-old as "irreplaceable" - they have not lost the last 48 Premier League matches he has started.

City were beaten in four out of the five games Rodri missed last season and he has lost once in 50 appearances across all competitions.

He's a favourite to win the Ballon d'Or award next month.
