‘Not good’ – Man City suffers two injuries to a £177 million duo in the chase for the Liverpool and Arsenal titles.

As to the article published on Liverpool World, Jack Grealish’s probable absence for ‘a few weeks’ has delivered Manchester City a serious injury blow in the Premier League championship battle. Tuesday night, City defeated Copenhagen 3-1 in the first leg of their last-16 match, moving them closer to the Champions League quarterfinals. Phil Foden, Bernado Silva, and Kevin De Bruyne all hit their targets.

Now, Pep Guardiola’s team returns their focus to the elite division. They now trail leaders Liverpool by two points, but for a short while, it may grow to five. On Saturday noon, the Reds take on Brentford, while later in the evening, City hosts Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

But Grealish, who signed a £100 million deal with Aston Villa in August 2021, was pulled off the game in the 21st minute due to a groyne issue and seemed unhappy as he left the ground. Then, with twelve minutes left, Silva was struck in the ankle.

Mateo Kovacic may resume training before City’s match against Chelsea, but Josko Gvardiol, a £77 million summer signing from RB Leipzig, might miss three weeks due to injury to his ankle ligament.

Via the Mirror, Guaridola said: “Jack felt his groin. I didn’t speak to the doctor, but it looks muscular. He wanted to continue but we can’t take any chances – and injuries like that usually take a few weeks.

“Bernardo took a big knock on the ankle. Hopefully, it is not a big issue, but we will see. Josko is out for two or three weeks after damaging the ligament in his ankle, but we hope Kova could come back to training on Thursday or Friday.

Guardiola added: “Unfortunately, now with the schedule we have we need players fit and every game and training session we lose players and that is not good.”
