Man City four players without Chelsea clash Grealish update

Manchester City anxiously wait for news on Jack Grealish's injury ahead of Premier League clash with Chelsea. Other players also injured.

Manchester City is currently facing uncertainty as they await updates on Jack Grealish's injury status ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea. The midfielder was forced to exit the field during their Champions League game against FC Copenhagen due to a groin issue. City manager Pep Guardiola stated that Grealish wanted to continue playing, but they were cautious about exacerbating the injury. Tests are scheduled to be conducted to assess the extent of the injury.

This setback comes at a challenging time for Grealish, who was making his first start in six games. He had previously been sidelined with a dead leg and faced tough competition from teammates such as Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden. Additionally, Bernardo Silva also sustained an ankle injury during the same match and may be a doubt for the upcoming game against Chelsea.

In addition to Grealish and Silva, it has been revealed that Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are also dealing with injuries. While Kovacic may have a chance of returning for the weekend match, Gvardiol is expected to be out for two to three weeks due to an ankle injury. Despite these challenges, Manchester City emerged victorious in the Champions League game against Copenhagen, with Kevin De Bruyne, Silva, and Foden finding the back of the net.

On the other hand, Chelsea secured a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in their recent outing, with Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez delivering standout performances. With both teams facing injury concerns and coming off recent victories, the upcoming clash promises to be an intriguing and closely contested encounter.
