Rodri suffered a torn ACL in the previous season, which significantly impacted the team's performance. Although he is expected to make a comeback in September, the team is looking for ways to strengthen their midfield.

Reijnders, who joined City from AC Milan for £46.6 million, has demonstrated his adaptability in the Club World Cup, playing three different roles in midfield. He emphasized his commitment to playing wherever the manager sees fit and to doing his best in every game.

Reijnders also highlighted the team's focus on ball possession and counter-attacking strategies. He noted that the team's ability to quickly regain possession after losing the ball is an area of focus in training sessions.

Reijnders' comments suggest that he is eager to learn and fit in with the team's style of play. His versatility is expected to be an asset to the team, especially with Rodri's uncertain return to the pitch.
