The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner has played and captained Spain in all three of their group stage matches, but according to the Daily Mail, surgery is being planned for the post-tournament period.
The exact nature of the injury has not been revealed, though rehabilitation is not expected to be a lengthy process.
Manchester City's Ballon d'Or winner made 33 appearances for the club last season, but struggled with hamstring and groin problems during that period. He is yet to agree a contract extension despite an offer being on the table, with Real Madrid having been linked with a move in the past. No breakthrough has been reached in negotiations.
The surgery news adds a fresh layer of uncertainty around a player who has been central to City's plans for years and whose contract situation remains unresolved. Losing him to a lengthy rehabilitation window or, ultimately, to a free transfer next summer would represent a major blow to the club's ambitions under new manager Enzo Maresca.
The timing adds pressure to a situation that is already delicate. Rodri is one of the most irreplaceable players in the Premier League and his absence during any significant spell would leave City without the midfield anchor that Pep Guardiola built so much of his system around. Maresca inherits that reliance and will need to find solutions if Rodri's availability is compromised in the early part of the season.
The contract picture is equally pressing. If no extension is agreed, Rodri could enter the final year of his deal this summer — a scenario that leaves City vulnerable to losing him for nothing in 2027 or having to sell him at a discount next summer if they want to recoup any fee.
