‘Ballon d’Or Helping Me Recover Fast From Injury’ — Rodri Reveals
Manchester City midfielder Rodri has revealed that winning the Ballon d’Or has been a significant source of motivation during his recovery from an ACL injury.
Rodri, who has been sidelined for three months due to the injury, played a vital role in Manchester City’s Premier League and UEFA Super Cup victories last season. He also contributed to Spain’s triumph in Euro 2024.
Throughout the season, he scored nine goals and provided 14 assists in 50 matches for City, ultimately earning the Ballon d’Or ahead of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.
Expressing his determination to return to action before the end of the current season, Rodri noted that this recognition has inspired him to recover quickly.
In his words;
“Everything seems to be going well with my rehab. Because of my injury, the award has been like a bottle of oxygen for me.”
“I want to come back this season; that would be important for me. I don’t know if I can, but I’d like to be involved for a month or two and finish the season”.
