The Spain international came off in the 88th minute.

“We’ll make a test tonight,” Guardiola said Sunday.

Rodri has returned to his best form in recent weeks after regaining his full sharpness after ACL and groin injuries.

Rodri’s absence would be a blow to second-placed City’s title hopes. The team is three points behind Arsenal but has a game in hand.
