Unbelievable

We will struggle without him but let's see how Pep responds

It is appalling. We have Kovacic and Gundo who I have faith in, I still see us as being competitive. However, any team will miss someone of the quality of Rodri. He is irreplaceable.

I'm fuming that persistent and deliberate fouling is not punished at all.

I don't think Rodri's injury was the result of a foul.

He was shoved and then caught his studs in the turf. Arsenal showed their intent in the very first minute. Also, if you watch the incident again, notice how Akanji is being held the entire time. It should have been a penalty.

Confirmed by club that he will not be back until next season. 😭

I can't see us winning anything this season without Rodri. It's ironic that the week before he was talking about going on strike....What a complete buggeration. The rest of the league will be delighted, unfortunately
