Manchester City midfielder, Rodri’s injury will have a big impact on the Premier League title race, Alan Shearer has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, there is no doubt that Rodri‘s injury will impact how City will perform in the nearest future because the road to recovery after an ACL injury is always difficult.
Shearer added that he knows exactly how the Spaniard feels since he has been hit with such an injury before.
His words, “There’s no doubt that a potential season-ending injury to Rodri will have an impact on Man City’s title hopes. It’s one thing knowing you’re not having him for two or three games, like they had at the beginning of the season, but it’s another thing knowing that he’s probably not going to come back this season. That’s a big blow and I don’t care who you are and what resources you’ve got, and Man City have a lot, when you lose a player of that calibre and quality, for that amount of time, there’s no doubt it’ll hurt them.
I’ve been there myself in terms of an ACL injury and I was out for six or seven months so I know exactly how Rodri will feel and how the football club will feel. It’s a long road back. Whether it’s five months, six months, seven months or whatever it may be, it’s a long road back. You’ve got the operation, if Rodri is going to have that, then you’re in a rest period and then you’re in rehab period. It’s a long road back and you have to be really strong mentally to get over it.”
WOW.
