Man City suffer injury ahead of EPL opener against Chelsea

Pep Guardiola has revealed that Jack Grealish is a doubt for Manchester City’s Premier League opening game against Chelsea.

Grealish took a knock in training ahead of Saturday’s Community Shield clash with Manchester United and was left out as a precaution.

But that could extend to Sunday when City go to Stamford Bridge to face Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea.

“Discomfort for two days but especially on Friday, his feeling wasn’t good,’ Guardiola said (via Daily Mail).

“I don’t think it’s a big issue but we didn’t want to take a risk. It’s a blow, he had rhythm and was aggressive.”

“Maybe against Chelsea he will be ready or I’m pretty sure against Ipswich Town. If he’d got injured now it could be three weeks or a month out.”

Jeremy Doku and new £33 million signing Savinho will fight for the left wing position in Grealish’s place.
