Manchester City midfielder, Rodri, has hinted at a possible return this season.

Rodri damaged his ACL during a Premier League fixture against Arsenal at the Etihad in September.

Although the current Ballon d’Or winner was expected to miss the entire season, he is desperate to feature again for City.

“I feel I can return already this season, yes. It’s possible and I can make it happen,” Rodri said.

“I’m recovering now, no pressure. It’s important to recover in the best way.

“But the season is long, there’s the new Clubs’ World Cup… I can do it.”

City have lost their last four games in all competitions and sit in second place in the league five points behind Liverpool.
