Barcelona have confirmed that midfielder Rodri will miss their upcoming La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid due to injury. The Spanish international, whose full name is Rodrigo Hernandez, sustained the issue that rules him out of the highly anticipated fixture at the Metropolitano Stadium.
The injury news comes shortly after Rodri featured in Barcelona's UEFA Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on October 20, 2026. The Catalan club has not disclosed the specific nature or expected duration of the setback, but his absence represents a significant blow to Hansi Flick's side ahead of a crucial league encounter.
Rodri has been a key figure in Barcelona's midfield this season, contributing both defensively and in build-up play. His absence against an Atletico Madrid side known for their physicality and tactical discipline under Diego Simeone will test Barcelona's squad depth as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the La Liga table.
