The peak is harder to go any furtheršŸ˜”Guardiola: Rodri has only played 60 minutes per game, but this trick doesn t work

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Brentford 1-0 away, and Manchester City midfielder Rodri was replaced due to injury in the 20th minute of the game. After the game, Guardiola talked about Rodri's injury.

Guardiola said in an interview: "I remember someone asked at the press conference why I replaced Rodri against Monaco. 'Why do I do this, why do I do that?' I certainly hope that Rodri will play every three days, but after a year (injury) this always happens, and the intensity of the game is too great."

"For this reason, we tried to use Rodri more gently. 60 to 65 minutes per game is enough, but this trick doesn't work. This time it's a muscle problem and it takes two to three weeks to recover. I certainly don't want to lose Rodri even if it's just a moment, but unfortunately, Rodri is an extremely important player and we've tried very hard to protect him, but the injury is like that."
