Rodrigo Hernández Cascante

Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, commonly known as Rodri, is a professional Spanish footballer born on June 22, 1996. He plays as a defensive midfielder for Manchester City and the Spanish national team. Rodri has gained recognition for his exceptional skills, tactical awareness, and ball distribution. He was a key player for Spain during the UEFA Euro 2020, where he was named the tournament's best player. Recently, he made headlines after undergoing surgery in late September for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, an injury sustained during a match against Arsenal. His recovery has been a topic of interest, with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressing optimism about Rodri's potential return to the pitch later in the season.
