Manchester City midfielder Rodri will have further tests on the knee injury that looks set to rule him out for an extended period of time.

Rodri travelled to Spain yesterday for initial tests on the injury sustained in the early stages of City 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

The Spain international seemed to jar his knee as he ran on a wet surface.

Sources have told BBC Sport further tests are required to discover the exact extent of the problem.
