Manchester City is preparing for the possibility of losing midfielder Rodri to suspension in the coming weeks.
Rodri has already accumulated eight yellow cards this season, leaving him close to a two-match ban if he receives another two bookings in the next three Premier League fixtures.
This potential absence could prove costly for City, who have already dropped points in a goalless draw against title rivals Arsenal.
Football analysts Keifer MacDonald and Isaac Johnson warned that Rodri’s absence could be pivotal as the club struggles to maintain their title charge.
