Manchester CitySummary
Generated byManchester City enter the 2026-27 season under new management and with serious injury concerns, after Rodri was confirmed to need back surgery following his World Cup triumph with Spain. The midfielder's absence could stretch well into the new campaign, leaving Enzo Maresca short of his most important defensive anchor from the moment competitive football resumes. It is a significant blow for a squad already in transition after finishing second in the Premier League on 78 points, seven behind champions Arsenal.
Maresca's rebuild has shown genuine momentum in other areas, though. Phil Foden has committed to a new four-year contract, embracing the new era under a manager he has described as brilliant. Abdukodir Khusanov and Jeremy Doku have also signed extensions keeping both at the Etihad until 2031, giving the incoming coach a core of talent to build around. The arrival of Elliot Anderson adds further depth to a midfield that will need it badly without Rodri.
Outgoings are shaping the squad too. John Stones has left as a free agent, with Chelsea now reportedly interested, while Savinho is closing in on a £65 million move to Tottenham. James Trafford looks set to follow, with Leeds United opening talks after Newcastle stepped away from a deal. The Rodri situation adds urgency to what is already a pivotal summer, and how City manage his absence will go a long way to defining whether Maresca can mount a title challenge in his first season.
