Manchester City confirmed that their Spanish midfielder Rodri successfully underwent back surgery on July 24, 2026. The 29-year-old player, who captained Spain to World Cup glory in 2026 and won the tournament’s Golden Ball, had been dealing with back issues since the competition. This surgery comes after he recovered from a serious ACL injury suffered in 2024, returning earlier than expected. With only one year remaining on his contract, persistent rumors link him to a potential move to Real Madrid. The club expects a short rehabilitation period, but his availability for the start of the 2026-2027 Premier League season remains uncertain.
