Pep Guardiola cautious on Haaland, Rodri fitness updates for Wolves clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that both Erling Haaland and Rodri have returned to training, but neither is expected to feature in the upcoming Premier League match against Wolves. Haaland, recovering from an ankle injury since March, is making progress but Guardiola emphasized that his return to the squad will not be rushed to avoid further setbacks. Similarly, Rodri, who has been sidelined since September with an ACL injury, will only return when club doctors give full clearance, as his injury requires particular caution due to the lengthy rehabilitation timeline. Guardiola repeatedly stressed the importance of medical advice in determining when the players can safely resume match action. The manager also acknowledged ongoing injury struggles throughout the season, which have affected key players across the squad. Overall, City's approach prioritizes player health and a cautious path back to competitive play for both stars.
