"Manchester City" club head coach Pep Guardiola commented on Rodri's injury situation before the match against "Newcastle United" and praised "Magpies" midfielder Bruno Guimaraes:

"Rodri will not play in this weekend's match.

The Spaniard is making good progress, and it has been three weeks since he played.

He understands that he needs to take the appropriate time for recovery, both physically and particularly psychologically."

"I have always been a big fan of B. Guimaraes.

Since he was with "Lyon," I realized that he is a special player. "Newcastle" signed an incredible player. He is an ideal fit for this team."

28-year-old Bruno Guimaraes has been playing for "Newcastle United" since 2021 and has scored 25 goals in over 170 matches.

In this season, the Brazilian has scored 3 times in 16 matches.
