Manchester City midfielder Rodrigo has returned to team training as he continues to accelerate his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

The Spanish midfielder was injured in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal last September and was ruled out for the season. Although the specific timetable for his return has not yet been determined, according to Sky Sports, Rodrigo's return is more likely to be aimed at the Club World Cup in June rather than the FA Cup final or the remaining Premier League games.

On Wednesday, Rodrigo appeared in Manchester City's open training session. In fact, this was not his first time training with the team. Recently, he has been gradually adapting to a higher intensity training rhythm.

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland has also returned to training after recovering from an ankle injury. Guardiola is expected to provide an update on Haaland's condition at a press conference on Thursday.

However, Nathan Ake and John Stones of Manchester City's defense have not yet resumed training together.
