City are yet to comfirm the severity of the injury to Rodri – who has been crucial to their recent success.

All three of City’s defeats during their historic fourth consecutive Premier League title-winning season last campaign came without Rodri in the team.

Speaking after Sunday’s match, manager Pep Guardiola said: “I don’t know yet. I didn’t speak with the doctors.

“Rodri is a strong man. If he leaves the pitch, then he felt something, otherwise he stays there.”

Rodri joined City in 2019 from Atletico Madrid and has made 260 appearances in all competitions, helping the club to four titles as well as the Champions League in 2023.

He was part of the Spain side that won Euro 2024 in Germany, coming off at half-time as Spain defeated England 2-1 in the final.
