In the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester City will challenge strong opponents Arsenal away. The Manchester Evening News updated Manchester City's players' injuries and comebacks, and the four players will miss this key battle.
Rodri: Physical fitness problems; expected to play against Arsenal

Rodri felt uncomfortable during training on Wednesday, but said he had no problems and could participate in the first round of the Champions League. After 60 minutes of persistence, he was replaced by Nico Gonzalez.
Rodri needs to continue working hard to handle the Wednesday match, which will be the first since he suffered an ACL injury against Arsenal a year ago. Guardiola admits that it is still a question whether the Golden Globe winner can handle such a load.
