Manchester City confirm Rodri has undergone successful back surgery
Manchester City have confirmed that Rodri has undergone minor back surgery. Reports earlier this week suggested the Spain international was set to undergo an operation, and the Premier League champions have now officially confirmed the procedure was successful.
The club released the following statement: "Manchester City can confirm that Rodri has successfully undergone minor back surgery. The midfielder had been experiencing discomfort for some time, but has now had surgery to address the issue and will begin a short period of rehabilitation."
The club have not provided a timeline for Rodri's return, but described the rehabilitation period as short, suggesting the midfielder is expected to resume training once he has fully recovered from the procedure.
AC Milan face an increasingly important decision over Rafael Leão's future. The Portugal international continues to be linked with a move away from San Siro, with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe both reportedly interested.
