Barcelona midfielder Rodri will miss Sunday's LaLiga match against Atletico Madrid due to a minor hamstring injury. The Spain international was substituted at halftime during Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League victory over Aston Villa. Barcelona confirmed the injury to his right hamstring, with his return timeline dependent on recovery progress. This is a setback for Barcelona, who lead second-placed Atletico by two points.
Rodri's injury adds to Barcelona's defensive concerns, with Jules Kounde also unavailable due to a left ankle sprain. However, there is a positive update as Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen have returned to training, potentially bolstering Hansi Flick's defensive options for the crucial fixture against Atletico Madrid.
