They are the Premier League players seriously injured a few must be absent from most matches last season, including stars like Rodri, Lisandro Martinez … and they are like the “blockbusters” of the home team in this summer market.
If it was not due to Rodri unexpectedly broken ligament, long -term leave, the 2024/25 season may have been closed with Man City with better results. Remember, before the Spanish player was seriously injured, the Green Man was winning like split bamboo.
Rodri re -exported the pitch, but recently involved in injury at the FIFA Club World Cup. But this time, the problem seems not very serious. If the 2024 Golden Ball rediscovered the form next season, he is like a new contract of the Manchester team.
Perhaps there is no need to mention Rodri's importance in Man City's play. He is the soul in the way of playing focusing on gaining control of the Etihad team. In the 2023/24 season, Rodri set a record with 3,359 successful passes – a record in the English Premier League in a football season.
The importance of Rodri is most evident in the statistics in the season 2023/24. In the 50 matches he played, Man City only had to receive 1 defeat. But in the 9 Spanish stars, Pep Guardiola's army had to receive 4 defeats.

Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton)
This is the star that made Brighton cost £ 25 million in the summer transfer window in 2024. He was highly expected by the Amex team. However, not yet playing much for “seabirds”, the Turkish defender suddenly suffered serious injuries in the big toe of the left foot. He had to undergo a surgery and could not return to play in the season 2024/25.
If Kadioglu recovered, he would be an extremely necessary addition to Brighton and no different from a blockbuster in this summer market. Remember, the Turkish star played very versatile. He mainly played as a left -back, but his right foot and could also play well on the opposite wing. In addition, Kadioglu's ability to support attack support is also very good, making him pushed to midfielder, even winged strikers.
With the re -export of Kadioglu, Fabian Hurzeler will have more squad layout plans in the upcoming season.

Igor Thiago (Brentford)
Thiago was the “blockbuster” of Brentford during the summer transfer window last year. He was bought for £ 30 million to replace the striker Ivan Toney. However, the Brazilian star almost did not play last season. The reason was a serious injury that caused him to take a break until November. After re -export, he played 4 matches in the Premier League, and then had to take another 5 months off due to knee joint infections.
Striker Bryan Mbeumo is likely to follow Ivan Toney to leave Brentford. He is currently being paid special attention. If MBeumo loses, Brentford will have to rely a lot on Thiago's goalscoring ability. The Brazilian star will match Younge Wissa into the team's attacking duo in the upcoming season.
Thiago was highly appreciated by his former teacher Thomas Frank in his ability to move and “sniff” the opportunity. The ability to transform the opportunity into his goal is also highly appreciated by experts in the UK.
After coach Ruben Amorim was appointed in the previous season, experts in the UK said that Lisandro Martinez would be a player who benefited a lot. By the love of the 3rd defender of the Portuguese strategist will maximize both defense (especially the ball control) and the attack of the Argentine star.
Before leaving the pitch due to ligament injury, Martinez was MU defender that made the most imprint on the field under the guidance of Mr. Amorim. On the side of the attack, he tends to drift and ranked 8th in the list of players in the Premier League with the number of cross -route passes reaching the highest success rate.
With the re -export of Martinez next season, the weakness in MU's defense will be somewhat overcome. In particular, the attacking style of the Manchester city team may become more transformed thanks to his participation on the field with very sharp passes.

Sven Botman (Newcastle)
Sven Botman is considered the best center -back in Newcastle's current squad. However, the traumatic ligament injury made him away from the pitch from April 2024 until now. His position is therefore temporarily covered by coach Eddie Howe. However, this “stunt” player is only temporarily called “round shoulder”.
It should be reminded that, before being injured, Botman is famous as a good player to rob the ball, especially the ability to fight very well. But he is not only excellent in defense, but also good at passing the ball to launch an attack – the factor that modern coaches are looking forward to in the defenders of the home team.
Next season, Newcastle will be present in the UEFA Champions League. The Northeast team of England needs to rely on the fulcrum where Botman in the defense. In other words, the Dutch star is like a new quality rookie added by Newcastle to fulfill its ambition to reach out in the continental arena.
