Pep Guardiola Reveals Jack Grealish Injury Concern Ahead of Chelsea Clash

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has expressed worry over the fitness of midfielder Jack Grealish ahead of their Premier League opener against Chelsea.

Grealish, who picked up a knock in training before the Community Shield clash against Manchester United, was not involved in the game at Wembley, and now faces uncertainty ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

“I don’t think it’s a big issue, but we didn’t want to take any risks,” Guardiola said. According to the manager, Grealish is experiencing discomfort, particularly on Fridays, which has raised concerns. He added that if an injury were to occur now, it could rule Grealish out for three to four weeks.

In Grealish’s absence, Jeremy Doku and the newly signed Savinho, worth £33 million, are set to vye for the left wing berth against Chelsea. The duo will be charged with filling the void left by Grealish’s potential absence from the squad.

Guardiola has given supporters hope, stating that Grealish could be ready to return for City’s next match against Ipswich Town. However, the outcome still remains uncertain, leaving fans anxiously waiting for an update on the injury’s severity.
