City were already missing talisman Kevin De Bruyne after he picked up an injury in the midweek draw with Inter Milan.
But they now face an anxious wait over Rodri after he limped off after 20 minutes.
The Spaniard only made his first start of the season against Inter after helping his nation win Euro 2024.
His return was a big boost for City after De Bruyne was ruled out today.
But Rodri was immediately in the wars as he went down several seconds into the game following a collision with Kai Havertz.
His first setback had little effect on City’s game plan as they took a 9th minute lead through Erling Haaland.
