Guardiola adamant Man City midfielder Rodri now Prem ready

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes Rodri has already adapted to the rigours of Premier League football.

The Spaniard, signed from Atletico Madrid in the summer, scored a cracking goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Burnley.

And Guardiola has been impressed with the midfielder's willingness to learn on and off the pitch.

"[Rodri] was incredible, in his position, offensive, defensive, so clever," said Guardiola.

"He has much better, the picture of our game, a picture of the players where they are.

"Fantastic player, so young, and he's adapted perfectly to this country. He's got it. He's a guy who wants to learn, listen, every training session he's ready and that's why always we can count on him without a problem."
