If he needs a rest he will have rest – Pep Guardiola knows Rodri must be tired

The 27-year-old midfielder has said a break from action was “something we are planning”.

Pep Guardiola has said he will rest Rodri if the Spain midfielder asks to sit out Saturday’s Premier League match against Luton.

PEP 💬 Take a look at our games and you realise. It is simple. He is so important for the quality he gives us.“I didn’t speak with him but if he needs a rest he will have rest,” Guardiola said on Friday. “Or no. I don’t know. Guardiola must balance the need for rest against the importance of maintaining their league form. City have the chance to land the first blow in the title race on Saturday, knowing victory over Luton will send them top ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool’s fixtures on Sunday.

“It’s not just Rodri. I’d love to rest central defenders but we don’t have them. In the friendly games they were injured and we are in big, big trouble. So they cannot rest.”
