Manchester City midfielder Rodri will almost certainly miss the remainder of the season after tests suggested he suffered an ACL tear in his right knee during Sunday's draw with Arsenal, a source told ESPN.

Manchester City may have entered the season as the favorites to win a fifth successive Premier League title, but the calculus on their chances to extend their winning streak shifts considerably now that Rodri is expected to miss much of the campaign with an knee injury.

Rodri is set to be ruled out for a significant period of time after suffering a serious knee injury in the Premier League draw with Arsenal and there are fears he may not return this season. The Manchester City midfielder went down clutching his right knee and was forced off after 21 minutes at Etihad Stadium.
