Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on the prospects of Rodri being fit for a third straight game when they face Arsenal in the Premier League and the need to manage his return to fitness Etihad Stadium, Manchester, UK
00:00I know you've just spoken about Rodri briefly then, but is he capable, do you think, of starting three games of that intensity in one week with United, Napoli tonight and then possibly Arsenal Sunday?
00:10It's a good question. I don't know yet. But he was so smart. I know the result was not over. One series is always tricky, but he doesn't feel good.
00:18We try to talk, please. We have to sustain and feel that I'm not comfortable and it's better. We see it day by day.
00:27But it's important to play already two games. Yesterday, for example, at the training session, he didn't feel much comfortable.
00:34He didn't train good, but said, no, no, I will be fine tomorrow and play extraordinarily like Rodri is.
00:40And with him in the pitch, we feel more comfortable. But of course, come from a tough, tough injury, you have to be alert and we will decide on Sunday how does he feel.
