Manchester City midfielder Rodri has withdrawn from the Spanish national team after picking up a muscle injury on Sunday.
Although the issue is not believed to be serious, the decision was made as a precaution. In a statement shared by Fabrizio Romano yesterday, the Spanish international explained: ‘I’m feeling better, but I don’t want to take any risks with the national team. I hope to be available in two weeks for the Everton game.’
Rodri’s absence will be a setback for Spain ahead of their upcoming fixtures, but head coach Luis de la Fuente is expected to test alternative options in midfield during this international window.
