While the issue is not believed to be serious, the decision to pull out was made as a precaution. The Spanish international confirmed the news in a statement shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano on Monday.

“I am feeling better, but no risk with the national team,” Rodri said. “I hope to be available in two weeks for the Everton game.”

His comments suggest that Manchester City are optimistic about his recovery, targeting a return for their Premier League clash against Everton after the international break.

Rodri’s absence will be a blow for Spain as they gear up for upcoming fixtures, though manager Luis de la Fuente is expected to rotate his midfield options during this window.

Meanwhile, City will be monitoring the 27-year-old’s recovery closely. With key fixtures ahead in both the Premier League title race and the Champions League group stage, Rodri’s return to full fitness remains a top priority for the club.
