Asked about playing again before the season ends, Rodri told AS: "Yes, yes, yes. Also, I know myself, I am a person who recovers well, a person with a positive mentality.
"They have said that the issue of the head was very important in the recovery. As I said, everything is going very well. Of course I want to play again this season."
On making the Club World Cup and the Nations League with Spain, Rodri added: "Yes, I think so. I don't want to confirm anything, but my idea is to try to come back a little earlier than that. It's in my head.
"These are the two big tournaments I have in mind for this year."
