The injured midfielder Rodri was included in the updated Champions League squad from Manchester City.
The influential Spanish international has not introduced City since a injury to the front cruciate ligament in September, and it is probably not likely to play again this season.
The men of Pep Guardiola struggled to fifth in the absence of the 28-year-old, moved to fifth place in the Premier League table and only ensured the progress of the Champions League-Knockout round in their last game of the league phase.
But with the return of the Ballon Ballon D’Or, the champions won a large thrust in 2024 before the end of the campaign after he was mentioned in their European squad for the rest of the season.
City competes in the first of his two-legged play-off games next week to Real Madrid, and although it is unlikely that the midfielder will appear in this draw, he could be available if they reach the latter stages.
