Manchester City are heading into tomorrow's FA Cup final against Chelsea with almost a full squad at their disposal—a dream scenario for any manager heading into a cup final. Pep Guardiola's side are in fine form and look well-positioned to add another piece of silverware to their cabinet this season. But there's one lingering question mark: the fitness of midfield maestro Rodri.

In his pre-match press conference today, Guardiola confirmed that Rodri will travel with the squad to Wembley, but stopped short of revealing whether the Spanish international will actually play. Rodri has missed City's last five matches due to a groin injury, leaving fans and pundits alike guessing about his availability for the biggest domestic cup clash of the season.

When pressed on Rodri's status, Guardiola kept his cards close to his chest: "We will see. He will travel and we will see." It's the kind of answer that keeps everyone on edge—and ensures the speculation will continue right up until kick-off.

It's worth noting that Rodri traveling with the team isn't exactly breaking news. The Ballon d'Or winner is a constant presence with his teammates, even when he's not fit to play. So while his inclusion on the trip offers a glimmer of hope, it doesn't confirm anything about his involvement on the pitch.

As things stand, Rodri remains City's only injury concern. The rest of the squad is fully fit and ready to go. But whether their midfield general will be pulling the strings at Wembley is a mystery that won't be solved until the teams are announced. For now, City fans will have to keep their fingers crossed and wait.
