The update comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the Spain international's fitness following the FIFA World Cup.

Rodri had been managing persistent back discomfort before opting to undergo surgery during the off-season to address the issue ahead of the new campaign.

Everything Confirmed So Far

Manchester City confirmed the operation was successful and stated that Rodri will now begin a short rehabilitation period. While the club expects him to recover well, it has not announced an exact return date.


City's new head coach, Enzo Maresca, had previously confirmed that surgery was planned and stressed that the midfielder would need time to rest and recover before rejoining the squad.

Why This Matters for Manchester City

Rodri remains one of the most influential midfielders in world football and is central to Manchester City's ambitions this season. After captaining Spain to FIFA World Cup success, he was expected to play another pivotal role for club and country before the back problem required medical intervention. [�

Although City have described the procedure as minor, any absence for Rodri is significant given his importance in controlling possession, shielding the defence and dictating the tempo of matches. 

British media reports suggest he could miss the start of the Premier League season, although the club has not officially confirmed this. �

What Happens Next?
