Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Rodri and Erling Haaland have resumed training, but he also stressed that caution should be exercised about Haaland's return and that it should not be rushed.  

Midfielder Rodri has been out of action since suffering a knee injury in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September 2024 and has yet to return to action. The 2024 European Cup winner then underwent surgery in Madrid before embarking on a long road to recovery.  

The player has been well received by his teammates and fans during his injury, whether he has been watching training on the sidelines of the CFA or appearing at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola said in a recent press conference that he is happy to see the midfielder return to the team.  

In addition, Erling Haaland was injured in the FA Cup quarter-final in March, when Manchester City beat Bournemouth 2-1. Although the team won, Erling Haaland injured his ankle in the game. He missed four Premier League wins and a draw, as well as the victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley, which helped the team advance to the FA Cup final.  

Now, Rodri and Erling Haaland have both returned to the field. Guardiola said that Erling Haaland's recovery is progressing well, and Rodri feels good.  

However, Pep Guardiola believes that Erling Haaland will not play against Wolves, and he will seek the professional opinion of the club's doctor before deciding whether to include Rodri in the game.  

Pep Guardiola said: "We are very happy to see Erling Haaland back in the team and Rodri is back in training. As soon as the physiotherapists and the team doctor confirm that Rodri can start playing, he will gradually resume playing time, but only if the team doctor tells me that his condition allows this."  

"Rodri's injury is very serious and the doctors say it will take between seven and eleven months to recover. He feels well and is training hard every day, but we have to be careful to ensure he doesn't recover too early or get injured again due to overload."  

"That's why we need to be extra careful, every training session is crucial and he is feeling better after every session. When the doctors confirm that Rodri's condition is stable and he can play, he will return to the pitch."
