Injuries Man City Champions League win: shine dampened

Man City's Champions League win marred by injuries to Grealish and Silva. Guardiola rues injuries after 3-1 win at FC Copenhagen.

Pep Guardiola was disappointed by injuries to Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva after Manchester City's 3-1 win at FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. Grealish, making his first start in six matches, had to be substituted after just 21 minutes due to a groin problem, while Silva also suffered a knock to the ankle late in the game. These injuries added to the absence of Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic. Guardiola expressed his concern, stating that Grealish's injury is muscular and they will conduct tests to assess the extent of the damage, while Silva's ankle injury is significant. Despite the injuries, City put in a strong performance, with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Silva, and Phil Foden securing the win. Guardiola praised the team's tempo and patience, but emphasized that the result is not decisive and they must remain focused for the next round.
