Rodri set to feature for Man City in key Bournemouth game

Rodrigo Hernandez will return to a Manchester City squad for Tuesday's crunch Premier League clash with Bournemouth. The Spanish Ballon d'Or winner has overcome a serious cruciate ligament injury that kept him sidelined for eight months.

As reported by AS, Pep Guardiola has decided to include him in the squad after several weeks of normal training with the group. Although it is unlikely that Rodri will start, it is not ruled out that he could play a few minutes during the match.

His return is excellent news for Manchester City, who are looking to secure qualification for next season's Champions League. The player was injured on 22 September in a match against Arsenal, which forced him to undergo surgery and miss most of the season.

In addition, his recovery comes at a key moment for the Spanish national team, which faces the Nations League in a month.
