Until now, the iron man Rodri has faced the first serious injury of his football career.

The defensive midfielder injured his knee in the match against Arsenal and will likely miss the rest of the season due to the injury. He has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, reports ESPN.

Rodri recently spoke about the excessive number of matches for football players. He hinted at a possible players' strike.

The European champion suffered the injury during a corner kick when he was running towards Partey and ultimately fell without contact.

Rodri is still a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or title.
