Manchester City is facing a new setback as they prepare for upcoming games against Manchester United and Liverpool. The team may be without Jack Grealish for key matches against their rivals, as well as Arsenal, in the coming weeks.
The upcoming games against Manchester United and Liverpool are crucial in the Premier League title race. City have already been dealing with multiple injuries this season, with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland among those sidelined. John Stones has also faced injury issues, while Grealish has only made seven Premier League starts due to fitness concerns.
Grealish recently returned from a groin injury but was forced off the pitch during the game against Luton Town. Despite scans revealing that he was expected to be out for only a few days, it seems that he may face another period on the sidelines.
In the game against Luton, City had a commanding lead in the first half, with goals from Haaland and assists from De Bruyne. The team is looking to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, one of three trophies they are aiming to retain this season.
Grealish played a significant role in City’s success last season, making numerous appearances and starting in the majority of games. Guardiola is also dealing with the absence of defender Josko Gvardiol, who is recovering from ankle ligament damage.
Overall, the team is facing challenges with injuries ahead of crucial fixtures, but they are determined to push forward and maintain their success in the league and cup competitions.
