Rodri to Undergo Back Surgery After World Cup Victory

Rodri, the captain of Spain's national football team and a midfielder for Manchester City, is going to have back surgery soon.

This comes right after he helped Spain win the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Rodri has had some injury problems before, like tearing his ACL in 2024, but he still played really well in the World Cup.

His coach, Enzo Maresca, says Rodri needs time to rest and recover.

There are rumors that other big clubs might want to sign Rodri, but Maresca says Manchester City wants him to stay.

The surgery is planned for Monday, and Maresca didn't say how long Rodri will be out.
