Manchester City cannot recall Kalvin Phillips from his loan at Ipswich Town due to a lack of recall option in the loan agreement. Despite the news of Rodri’s season-ending ACL injury, City supporters seem indifferent about Phillips not returning to the club, with some even expressing relief. Phillips also missed a recent game due to a thigh injury, adding to his ongoing fitness issues since joining City from Leeds in 2022.
While Rodri’s injury is a setback for Manchester City, there are several midfielders who can provide cover in his absence. Players like Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes, and Nico O’Reilly are expected to step up, with the option to potentially strengthen in the transfer market in January if needed. Despite Rodri’s absence, City have solutions within the squad to cope with the injury and continue performing well during the season.

With the potential for transfer market activity in the future, City may still look to strengthen if necessary to maintain their competitive edge.
