Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has drawn a stunning similarity between the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry and Rodri's continued absence. After suffering injuries to his meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament in the Premier League's final 2-2 tie against Arsenal earlier this season, the newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner is anticipated to stay out until next summer.

Because of this, Pep Guardiola has been forced to find answers for a player who has been a constant in his midfield and who has been crucial to Manchester City's and Spain's victories over the past two years in particular. 
The 28-year-old Rodri is only one of eight possible injury issues for the final three games before the November international break, but his absence isn't the only one wreaking turmoil in the Manchester City camp.

“Imagine in any sports, in basketball and the Golden State Warriors playing without Stephen Curry or Barcelona in his prime playing without (Lionel) Messi. You’d wish it had been different! They should be less strong. It’s the same with us. ”He continued, “Rodri is irreplaceable, we know it and the players, but we have to move on.

During a recent news conference, manager Pep Guardiola emphasized the indispensable value of Rodri to his City club by drawing comparisons between the Spaniard's absence and that of players like Lionel Messi and Steph Curry.

Stephen Curry to miss third consecutive game for Golden State Warriors

Due to a left ankle injury, Stephen Curry will miss the Golden State Warriors' third consecutive game on Saturday against Houston. However, he resumed workouts on Friday. Curry will get another examination on Sunday before Golden State's match against Washington on Monday.

He sustained injuries during Sunday night's defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers. After the game, the 36-year-old Curry, who is starting his 16th season, underwent an MRI, which indicated a left peroneal strain but no structural damage.
