Fitness issues have blighted Rodri’s club availability since he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in September 2024, which sidelined him for almost the entire 2024-25 season. Subsequent hamstring and groin problems restricted him to just 33 appearances and 17 Premier League starts last term. This starkly contrasts the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner's pivotal role during the 2022-23 campaign, when he netted the winning goal in the Champions League final to seal a historic treble.
