Better, won't to be risked

Rodri (groin) is trending in the right direction but won't to be risked in Saturday's match against Southampton, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He's better. He's not likely to play, so we don't want to take the risk. I don't know yet [if he will feature against Everton - hopefully, but as I say, we don't want to take risks. If he's injured, we lose him for the next three, and he's so important."

Analysis: Rodri is still not fully recovered, but is at least progressing in recovery, as the midfielder has been given a positive update. However, he will not yet risk a return, as the midfielder remains out for the FA Cup semifinal against Championship side Southampton. With the club's eyes set on winning the league and needing the crucial midfielder for those games, they likely don't want to risk further injury after a massive absence from the Spainard last season. With him likely to be out, Bernardo Silva and Nico O'Reilly will likely start in the defensive portion of the midfield, with Nico Gonzalez as another option. The main goal will be to have him for the remaining league matches.

Ruled out against Burnley

Rodri (groin) has been ruled out of Wednesday's clash against Burnley but could be available for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Southampton, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "I think for tomorrow he will not be ready. We will see for the next games."

Analysis: Rodri had been forced off in the 87th minute of Sunday's clash against Arsenal after going to ground holding his groin, and while the injury does not appear to be a long-term concern, the club is taking a cautious approach with the midfielder for the midweek fixture. The Ballon d'Or winner is City's most important defensive presence in the middle of the park, and getting him back for the FA Cup tie at the weekend would be a significant boost for coach Guardiola's side. Nico Gonzalez is expected to cover against Burnley on Wednesday while Rodri works his way back to full fitness.
