65 minutes during return
Rodri registered one shot in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win over Chelsea.
Analysis: Rodri was back in the team sheet Saturday after a few weeks off due to injury, starting and playing 65 minutes in the win. However, he wouldn't see much work in the match, only recording a singular shot while attempting 48 passes. Either way, this is a major return as they try to catch Arsenal for a title in the final two games of the season.
Starts FA Cup final
Rodri (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.
Analysis: Rodri defied the questionable tag that had surrounded him heading into the weekend after missing five straight matches, with manager Pep Guardiola's cautious words proving more optimistic than expected as the crucial midfielder is handed a surprise starting role for the FA Cup final. His ability to come through the testing and earn a starting role in one of the biggest matches of the season is a major boost for a City side desperate to end the campaign with silverware.
