Rodri pinpoints England's 'danger' man

With just one win away from clinching the Henri Delaunay trophy, Rodri is wary of one English player who could hinder their chances.

Despite acknowledging that the Three Lions are stacked with a myriad of talents, he specifically highlighted Phil Foden, his club teammate at Man City, as a potential headache.

"They have a lot of them. I love Phil Foden because I know him, he's with me," he told Spanish publication AS.

The defensive midfielder also added, "He's a player who has to be kept under control because he has an innate ability to move in a small space.

"But there are many players who can do a lot of damage.

While singling out Foden, Rodri emphasised that his and Spain's focus won't be limited to just one player as they prepare for an epic game.
