Manchester City's Rodri Hernandez will be out for the match against Everton and still has no return date after his injury.

The Spanish midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner is still suffering from the muscle injury he suffered against Brentford and that prevented him from being with the Spanish national team during the last FIFA date.

"Rodri is not ready for tomorrow. We don't know when he can 'Come back,' Pep Guardiola said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

Rodri, last year's Ballon d'Or winner, missed most of last season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

He has made nine appearances for club and country this season but only played 22 minutes before being substituted against Brentford.

The Spaniard missed the start of this season after suffering another injury, reportedly to his groin, at the Club World Cup, and has complained of knee pain in recent weeks.

Manchester City close to getting some players back

Meanwhile, Guardiola reported that Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush trained yesterday and 'are close to returning,' while Mateo Kovacic, who got another start for Croatia, is fit for '50-60 minutes.'

Meanwhile, Jack Grealish, who is on loan, will not be able to play for Everton due to loan regulations in the Premier League.

The English player, the Premier League's best player in August, will not be able to play in both the first and second legs of the league championship and will not be able to face Pep Guardiola's team in the event of a cup tie.

The winger is having a great start to the season, scoring one goal and providing four assists in the first seven matches, which keeps the team in eighth place.
