This might be excellent news for Manchester United, as Manchester City has delivered a huge injury blow in advance of their match against Manchester United.

As a result, he will not be able to participate in the forthcoming Manchester derby or any other important matches for Manchester City.

Grealish was forced to leave the field once more after suffering a recurrence of the groin injury during the FA Cup victory over Luton Town. This occurred despite the fact that Grealish had returned from the injury ahead of schedule.

It is quite doubtful that Grealish would be ready before the international break that will take place later this month, according to Guardiola, who expressed concern regarding the timing for Grealish’s comeback.

This setback not only affects the impending derby match between City and Liverpool, but it also affects vital matches against Copenhagen in the Champions League, Liverpool in the Premier League, and Newcastle in the FA Cup quarterfinal.

As the manager stressed the significance of Grealish’s recuperation process, he stated that the team must concentrate on making effective use of him once he is back to full fitness.

Guardiola emphasized the depth of the squad and the versatility of other players who are capable of stepping up in Grealish’s absence, despite the fact that it is apparent that City will miss Grealish’s presence on the pitch very much.

It is anticipated that Rodri and Phil Foden will play significant roles, and Julian Alvarez, Jeremy Doku, and Oscar Bobb are all competing for the opportunity to be employed.

The importance of next matches was emphasized by Guardiola, who also acknowledged the team’s efforts and commitment in order to get to this point in the season.

Guardiola has expressed faith in the team’s capacity to rise to the occasion and make the most of the opportunities offered in the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup.

This is despite the fact that Grealish’s injury setback presents a number of hurdles.
