Well was I wrong. I did not find any news that said Rodri suffered an injury like the one you have discussed. Rodri's absence from the match against Arsenal was not due to injury but because of the punishment resulting from the red card he received. I think Manchester City only lost Kevin De Bruyne because he had a long injury recovery period.

It is quite appropriate that the absence of these two core players makes the balance of the Manchester City team unbalanced. I think Pep must be able to anticipate this in the upcoming matches because he needs a win to be able to compete with Arsenal at the top of the standings again.

In the upcoming match, Manchester City will face Brighton at the Etihad stadium. This match will be the key for them to end the bad streak in the two matches they have played. I think playing in front of their own supporters will give Manchester City a big chance of securing victory in this match.

Manchester City style of play was still quite good in the match against Arsenal and it seems that not having several key players in their squad affected their performance in that match. Rodri is believed to return to starting Manchester City's game against Brighton after the international break.

I think the Manchester City players have to fight hard to be able to secure full points in the upcoming match because they still have many players who are influential enough to achieve maximum results in the upcoming match.
Kevin De Bruyne's injury did not have a bad impact in the previous few matches because other players were able to cover the gap.
However, this consecutive defeat seems as if Kevin De Bruyne was linked to this situation even though he was not previously.
Pep Guardiola will definitely make some changes in the upcoming match because he will not remain silent with the current situation. Of course he will give strict instructions to his players to perform optimally in the upcoming match.

For Manchester City, their best strength to win matches this season cannot be separated from Haaland's big role on the front lines. Because if Haaland is able to turn every opportunity he has into a goal, Manchester City will easily beat their opponents.

This season there is tighter competition in the Premier League because several teams have developed a strong desire to overthrow Manchester City's power in the Premier League.

For Arsenal and Tottenham. These two teams must protect their chances as best as possible in the upcoming match because losing points could result in their ranking being moved by Manchester City.
