Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta Still 'Loves' Pep Guardiola Despite Fiery Clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he still "loves" Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola despite last weekend's bad-tempered top-of-the-table clash. The champions needed a John Stones equaliser deep into stoppage-time to escape with a 2-2 draw against 10-man Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Arteta's side, runners-up to City in the Premier League for the past two seasons, had Leandro Trossard sent off just before the interval. The Gunners did their best to deliberately disrupt their rivals with time-wasting and cynical fouls in the second half.

Manchester City Midfielder Rodri Ruled Out For Rest Of 2024/25 Season With ACL Injury

Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday. "He had surgery this morning, ACL and some meniscus" said Guardiola. "So, next season he will be here. This season is over." The Spain international suffered the injury during the first half of last Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League. Rodri's loss is a huge blow to City's hopes of winning a fifth consecutive Premier League title, as well as their ambitions of reclaiming the Champions League crown.
