ENSCHEDE, Netherlands : Champions League final hero Rodri is likely to be thrust straight back into action for Spain in the Nations League on Thursday, five days after helping Manchester City complete the treble.
The midfielder scored the winner for City in the Champions League final against Inter Milan on Saturday but while his team mates have been celebrating, he has joined up with the national squad for the four-nation tournament in Netherlands. Rodri is joined in the Spain squad by Aymeric Laporte, who was an unused substitute on Saturday as City completed their sweep of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League titles.
Rodri, who turns 27 next week, captained Spain for the first time in their last game in March, a surprise defeat in Scotland in Euro 2024 qualifying.
