Latest updates on Rodri's condition

Xavi Miguel has revealed that Rodri's recovery process is progressing very positively, with indications that he could return to the pitch ahead of schedule. This development could provide the coaching staff with an important boost in the upcoming phase.

The primary goal is currently to prepare the player for participation against Atlético Madrid on December 2, with the possibility of calling him up for the match against Deportivo La Coruña scheduled for November 29, should his recovery proceed as expected.

In contrast, Rodri is expected to miss the match against Villarreal, as well as the following game after the international break, as part of the plan to manage his injury and avoid rushing his return to competitive action.

The coaching staff hopes the player will regain full fitness before facing Atlético Madrid, with the possibility of gradually reintroducing him through the match against Deportivo La Coruña, if his physical condition allows it.
