Rodri, midfielder for Manchester City and captain of the Spanish national team, suffered a knee injury in a chaotic match against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

Just 3 seconds into the game, Rodri took a hit from Kai Havertz to his collarbone, and 16 minutes later, he damaged his right knee while attempting to connect with a corner kick at the near post.

In a collision with Arsenal's midfielder Thomas Partey, Rodri's right knee buckled, causing him to fall to the ground in visible pain.

The match had to be stopped as he received treatment on the field for three minutes, showing concern before requesting to be substituted.

Rodri left the pitch on his own, but with a pained expression, favoring his injured right knee, and was replaced by Mateo Kovacic.

The highly anticipated fifth round match in the Premier League between Manchester City and Arsenal, two leading title contenders, turned out to be a nightmare for Rodri.

He started the game with a strong blow from Havertz just after the kickoff, falling heavily to the ground and requiring medical assistance immediately.

In the coming hours, Manchester City will provide an update on Rodri's right knee injury, with Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente keeping a close eye on the status of this key player, as Spain faces two Nations League matches against Denmark and Serbia on October 12 and 15.
