Rodri reveals he WILL be for Man City's EPL clash with Everton next Wednesday

Rodri, the midfielder for Manchester City, narrowly avoided a serious injury despite a harsh tackle from Aleksander during the Club World Cup final against Fluminense.

In Friday's 4-0 victory, Rodri was forced to leave the field in the second half due to the tackle.

Despite the intensity of the incident, Rodri confirmed he will be fit for Manchester City's upcoming Premier League match against Everton on Wednesday.

During the Club World Cup final against Fluminense, Rodri went down appearing to be injured after a nasty tackle on his knee.

The Spanish international, who described the tackle as 'one of the worst' in his career, expressed his relief after the game.

Despite feeling his knee and being close to tears, Rodri returned to the field after treatment but eventually had to be replaced due to the impact of the tackle.

Following the match, Rodri received the Player of the Match award during the trophy celebrations.

Man City went on to win in style, securing a 4-0 win in Jeddah to secure the title as champions of the world, on top of last season's treble success.

In an interview with Sky Sports, he emphasised his luck in escaping serious injury and conveyed his gratitude for going home safely.

'I said to the player: 'You cannot do these kind of actions.' Rodri said in a post-match interview.

'Today, I won more than a trophy. I go home safe but I was very close to crying. I felt very worried but it is nothing.'

The Spaniard confirmed he will be available for Man City's next Premier League clash at Goodison Park against in-form Everton.
