Rodri starts on the bench vs PSG: Flick manages his minutes

Hansi Flick leaves Rodri out of the XI vs PSG in the Champions League and plans around Saturday’s Barcelona-Real Madrid clash.

Rodri, from Manchester City, is set to start on the bench for tonight’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The reason given for the call by Hansi Flick is straightforward: he wants to manage the midfielder’s workload ahead of Barcelona’s game versus Real Madrid on Saturday. The City’s lineup in Paris is therefore shaped by the bigger picture of a busy schedule.

Romano’s update highlights the same theme throughout: minutes control for Rodri to be ready for the weekend fixture.
