Manchester City midfielder Rodri hopes to return to action before the end of the season.

Rodri ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during City's 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September, an injury boss Pep Guardiola said would keep him out for the rest of the season.

City have failed to win any of their past six games in all competitions in Rodri's absence, and the Spain international hopes to help his team-mates before the season is over. "My target is to come back this season.

I don't give up on this season, [but] I don't want to make any mistakes.
