Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has returned to training at Manchester City.
The midfielder completed an individual on-pitch workout at the club’s Etihad Campus on Friday.
Spain international Rodri, 28, has been out of action since September after suffering a serious knee injury, a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
In his absence, last season’s champions have slipped 20 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League and been knocked out of the Champions League.
The club released footage on Friday that showed Rodri completing a series of drills on the first team’s training pitches.
Pep Guardiola, the manager, has attempted to downplay expectations that Rodri will soon be able to play again.
Guardiola recently stated: “Rodri’s full recovery is now the most crucial thing.
“It is going great and he feels great, but we will see how things develop step by step.”
Although City lost to Real Madrid in the play-off stage, Rodri was part of the team in early February for the Champions League.
