Rodri impressing fellow Man City midfielder Nico Gonzalez as he ramps up fitness
Nico Gonzalez believes Rodri is getting back to his best level after continuing his comeback at the Club World Cup. Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder Rodri missed most of Manchester City's 2024-25 campaign after suffering a serious knee injury last September. He returned to action by playing seven minutes in City's penultimate Premier League fixture against Bournemouth last month and came on for the last half-hour of Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola brought on Rodri against Wydad Casablanca (Derik Hamilton/AP) Gonzalez, who plays in a similar position, was signed by City in January partly to provide cover for Rodri. The 23-year-old believes he can learn a lot from his fellow Spaniard, who he feels is 'even better' than he thought. Gonzalez said: 'He has been (back training) a couple of months. He is an amazing player and really good in everything that can be good in a midfielder. 'I am trying to learn the most I can and I think I am starting to watch him at his best level. I am seeing things that I haven't seen in a lot of midfielders. Nico Gonzalez, pictured, is trying to learn from Rodri (Martin Rickett/PA) 'I try to see all the passes the players don't see and take as much from him as I can. He helps me a lot. He is Spanish so we are starting to have a good relationship.' Gonzalez's signing came alongside those of Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov in the mid-season transfer window as City began to respond to their underwhelming season. The squad overhaul has continued with the arrivals of Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Marcus Bettinelli this month. Omar Marmoush is among the recent signings at City (Martin Rickett/PA) Yet while City have clearly decided fresh faces are required after a failure to mount a strong title challenge and a premature Champions League exit, Gonzalez does not feel there was ever anything wrong with the spirit. He said: 'The mentality of all these players was always good. I don't think the mentality is what didn't make us win a trophy. I think the attitude and mentality was really good. 'Sometimes you have a better season, sometimes worse. I hope this season is the best possible.' City play their second match at the Club World Cup, and could secure a place in the last 16, when they face Al Ain of Abu Dhabi in Atlanta on Sunday night (2am Monday BST).

Lauren Walsh within four of lead at Czech Ladies Open
Lauren Walsh is within four shots of the lead after the second round at the Czech Ladies Open. The Kildare native followed up Friday's 69 with an even better six-under 66 to surge up to nine under and into a tie for sixth at the Beroun Golf Resort course. She is the leading contender among the Irish quartet in action. Olivia Mehaffey and Sara Byrne are five shots further back in a tie for 50th. Mehaffey impressed on Saturday with a score of 65, while Byrne carded a 70, Canice Screene is on two under following a 69 but missed the cut by just one shot. Switzerland's Kim Metraux leads the way after producing a masterclass on day two with a career-best round of 63 (nine under) to storm into the outright lead on 13 under par. Chasing a maiden win on the Ladies European Tour, she is one shot clear of England's Esme Hamilton who shot a 66 in only her sixth LET event. "This is the lowest round I've ever had," Metraux said. "It was just one of those days where everything went really well. I didn't really miss any shots or putts, to be honest. It was so nice. I gave myself a lot of opportunities and made the most of them. "I'm really happy with how it went. I kind of lost track of what my score was, I just knew I went really low. I really loved it and hopefully I can have a day like that again."
