Rodri still cannot cope with playing three games a week, says Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has revealed that Rodri, Manchester City's midfielder, is still struggling to cope with the demands of playing three games a week. Rodri missed the 5-1 win against Burnley on Saturday due to a tendon issue, but he will be available for the upcoming Champions League match against Monaco. Guardiola emphasized that Rodri is not injured, but he is having difficulty with the tendon, which has been a concern since his return from a cruciate ligament injury sustained against Arsenal a year ago. The City manager is cautious about overloading Rodri at this stage, as he wants to avoid the problem recurring and compromising the team's performance, as happened last season when Rodri's injury led to a collapse in City's form.
