Rodri could return for Manchester City this season, according to Pep Guardiola. Rodri has been out since September when he underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his knee.
\"The fans must know they are not the only ones who are excited,\" Guardiola said. \"It\'s been five months or six months. After the international break, could be. But one step at a time. We don\'t have to make stupid decisions to come from weeks earlier. It\'s good, but still he\'s not close to coming back I\'d say.
\"But he\'s touching the ball today in the locker room, making touches with the players. He feels confident, he feels more happy. I could not expect [that he could return] before the end of the season, not even the [Club] World Cup. In the Premier League, maybe it\'s going to happen.\"
