(Reuters) -Manchester City midfielder Rodri is not ready to play three matches a week as he continues to work his way back to full fitness, manager Pep Guardiola said ahead of their Champions League group stage match against AS Monaco.

Ballon d'Or winner Rodri returned in May after spending eight months on the sidelines due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, but then suffered a groin injury during the Club World Cup in July.
