As of March 2025, while Rodri's return to training is encouraging, there is no definitive timeline for his return to competitive play. Guardiola stated: “It’s good, but he’s not so close to coming back. He’s touching the ball and back in the locker room.” He added: “He feels more confident and happier. I could not expect that before the end of the season in the Premier League, but maybe he is going to help us.” (Source: Manchester City)
