Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante Injuries

'I don’t know how long Rodri will be out. [It’s the] groin, I think the doctor said, but we will see. We will make a test tonight or tomorrow.' 'I think for tomorrow he will not be ready. We’ll see for next games the FA Cup semi-final vs Saints or 12 days later for the PL game at Everton.' '[He] is better... No. We don’t want to take the risk. I don’t know yet [if he will feature against Everton], hopefully, but as I say, we don’t want to take risks. If he is injured, we lose him for the next three, and he’s so important.' 'He is getting better. Still hasn’t trained with us, so we will see.' 'We will see this afternoon. Hopefully, tomorrow he will come back.' 'Better. We will see in training this afternoon.' 'We travel, and we will see.'

'Doesn't feel perfect...' 'We will see tomorrow. I think we won't take a risk ahead of the international break. We have to find the moment he feels strong and fit to sustain the actions in the game properly.' 'Not for tomorrow. Not long, I'm not sure [exactly], but not long in the process. In the timing, and when he will be back, we'll wait a little bit more to be sure that it's fine.' 'Not yet. Not much further.' 'No, but he is getting better. So, I don't know how long, but he is at the stage where, in a few weeks, he will be ready.' 'Rodri is training really well. He is doing his rehab really well, and he looks sharper and sharper every day. But I don't think we are going to see him for the weekend - he is the process, definitely.' 'Rodri is much, much better. Available or not, we’ll decide today.' 'Rodri has come back [in GW18]. Maybe he can play a few minutes. We need it desperately.'

'It is muscular (hamstring), so two weeks or three weeks. Of course, I don't want to lose him even a little bit, but it is a pity because he is such an important player. We tried to take care of him, but it is what it is.' 'I don’t think so [for Tuesday]. Aston Villa, I don’t think so either. It’s not long, but it’s muscular. We have to be careful. We tried many times to prevent another injury, but we have not been able to do that, so we will see.' 'Rodri is still not [ready]. So, is getting better, training with us partial. But, of course, after what happened two times with the muscular injuries, we are going to see how he is this week.' 'I think he will be [available]. I think he will be ready to help us... I don't know if in the beginning, but hopefully, he can be with us.'

'Rodri misses out this afternoon as the Spanish midfielder is not fully fit.' 'I don't know right now how the pain is in his knee. He said to us that he was not ready to play.' 'Yeah, he feels much better... Day by day, see how best he feels. The day before Burnley, he didn’t feel too good. Today, he feels much better, so we will see.'

'We have to see Rodri, he complained about his situation.' 'He is getting better, but he had a big [groin] injury in the last game [of the CWC] vs Al-Hilal. He has trained better in the last few days. Hopefully, after the international break, he will be really fit. Hopefully, in these games, he can play some minutes, but what is important is that he doesn't have pain because we don't want Rodri coming back injured. We will try desperately to avoid that... He has been training the last two sessions with us, and that's good.' 'Rodri is so soon to come back, but it is important his knee is perfect. He's made good training sessions and tomorrow he's travelling. We will decide how many minutes.' 'Soon he will be involved... very soon!' 'Rodri and Phil in the last game they were out, but for just the reason why - a lack of training and rhythm. They didn’t travel to Palermo, and the other guys were doing it all through pre-season. They were not [ready] for 90 minutes against Wolves, but they were ready, and of course, they are ready for tomorrow.'

'I don't know yet, I didn't ask the doctors. Rodri is strong. He leaves the pitch in this action because he felt something, otherwise Rodri stays there.' 'We are still waiting for the decision of the doctors [to see] exactly what he has. When we know it, the club or myself will announce it. He will be out for a little while.' 'Surgery this morning, ACL, and next season, he will be here. This season is over. Unfortunately, we got the worst [news possible], but these things happen. We will be there to support him in his recovery step-by-step.' 'It is important he recovers well. If at the end of the season will be good. This is the target.' 'I don't know [if he will feature at the Club World Cup]... I wish, I hope. He's behaving really well [in training], but competition is different. We have to be sure he's fine... Then [we will see].' 'Every training session he does with us, he does well. But I don’t know. Rodri wants [to play], but the doctor will have to say, 'Pep, you have the green light to give him minutes'. I want to rely on the doctors in that case.' 'The moment the official doctor says Rodri can start to play minutes... he will, but the doctors have to tell me. He is making more sessions, but we have to wait so he doesn't make a step backwards and get injured again. Every training session, he feels better.' 'He is much, much better. I am waiting for the doctors. When they tell me he is ready, he is going to start. We don't want to take a risk and take a step back.'

'The England players and Rodri will come back next week. What's next, training sessions, it's just step by step, the next game, try to be smart enough to the training and the right amount of time, so be fresh in the mind.' 'He didn't train. I didn't see him yet. I think he feels good, but we will see when he starts to move his body how he feels. No chance [for Sunday].' 'He's getting better. He's not with the group. Maybe today, partial training, but it's not good. I don't think [he will be ready for Ipswich], but we'll see.' 'He had an injury with the national team and still has some niggles, but it's the last part, and he's training. I saw yesterday, quite highly I would say, and it's just a question of days that he will rejoin the group to make a training session.' 'Rodri is much better, [Matteo] Kovacic as well.'

'Rodri, unfortunately, his grandma passed away yesterday. He will not be here. Family issues are most important. Hopefully, he will be back soon.'

'I almost cried after the tackle but I’m fine. I will be fine to play against Everton, no issues.'

'Yesterday, Rodri, in the training session, the last one, felt something. A little bit more than a niggle in his leg, and we couldn't take a risk with this tough, tough schedule.'

"Rodri trained quite good today and I think he will be available tomorrow."

"After the international break maybe he will be ready."
