Pep Guardiola says Rodri will be out "for a long time" with the knee injury he suffered against Arsenal, but the Manchester City manager is retaining hope that it could be "less than expected."

Manchester City are still waiting for doctors to confirm the severity of the injury sustained by midfielder Rodri, says manager Pep Guardiola.

Perhaps it was a sign of Guardiola’s all-pervasive influence as Watford tried to play out from the back, failed with Ryan Porteous under-hitting a pass back, James McAtee pinched the ball from goalkeeper Jonathan Bond and Doku put City ahead.
