Rodri’s recent red card in Manchester City’s 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest has garnered attention, but fans can expect to see him back in action after just two games. Here’s why:

Rodri’s suspension is for three games, but it only applies to domestic matches since he received the red card in a Premier League game.

His first absence will be in the Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United on Wednesday. He will also miss the Premier League match against Wolves on the following Saturday.

However, his domestic ban will conclude after the Premier League game against Arsenal on Sunday, October 8th.

Rodri will be available for the UEFA Champions League match against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, October 4th, just before his domestic ban ends.

It’s worth noting that Rodri’s suspension only affects domestic games, so he remains eligible for European clashes.

While his absence in domestic matches is a setback for Manchester City, they will have him back for what appears to be a challenging encounter against RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage, where RB Leipzig is one of the tougher opponents in comparison to Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys.
