'There’s Still A Long Way To Be The Rodri He Was': Guardiola Calls For Patience On Midfielder's Return From Injury

Pep Guardiola: Pep Guardiola says it will take time for Rodri to get back to his best after his midweek return to action.

The Spaniard was a second-half substitute during Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth, receiving an incredible standing ovation from the Etihad Stadium eight months on from sustaining the knee injury that has kept him sidelined.

Now, City face a crucial final day trip to Fulham knowing that at least a point is required to guarantee Champions League football next season.
