Man City given fresh injury scare as Rodri misses Spain fixture amid worrying 'discomfort' reports

Manchester City already have seven players injured, or who have withdrawn from international duty - and have now been given a new scare with Rodri.

As it stands, City could have just 13 fit outfield players to face Liverpool, not including Rodri.
Meanwhile, Oscar Bobb earned a start for Norway in a friendly against the Faroe Islands, and while manager Stale Solbakken
