Manchester City injury news as Jack Grealish ruled out of Community Shield clash with late issue
Jack Grealish has posted online after missing the Community Shield clash with Manchester United on Saturday. The Manchester City forward had played a big part in pre-season prior to the game at Wembley but was ruled out late on with an issue.
He had been a regular under Pep Guardiola throughout the summer, playing more than 300 minutes on the tour of America, scoring once. Only Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb featured more. Grealish's Wembley absence comes off the back of a disappointing third season in Manchester. He only started 10 league games, the fewest in his senior career since 2015/16, and clocked just over 1,000 minutes, scoring three times.
City take on Chelsea in the first Premier League game of the season next Sunday, a game Grealish will be keen to play in. Guardiola himself will be hopeful of getting the winger back. Speaking about Grealish earlier this summer, he purred, "What I’ve seen so far here, one week in the pre-season on tour, I loved it.
"Hopefully, he can sustain it until the end of the season and like the rest compete with everyone for one place in the starting XI, that depends on him. What I see in behaviours, in training and how you’re performing, as well as you do the more chance you have."
