Man City against Chelsea: Two important players injured ahead of EPL clash
Manchester City could be without two crucial players when they face Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend.
Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva both sustained injuries during Manchester City’s 3-1 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, told the BBC: “Bernardo [Silva] has taken a serious knock.
“It appears that Jack Grealish has suffered a muscular problem. It is a shame. He helped us play at the proper tempo. He felt it as he rolled on the grass. “They know.”
Meanwhile, Guardiola told TNT Sports that he believes Grealish’s injury is in the groyne, and he was questioned again about the 28-year-old and Silva at his news conference.
“Bernardo has a big knock in his ankle,” Guardiola added. “Hopefully Bernardo isn’t a major issue.
“We’ll have Chelsea at home for the next few days.” We need to recover as rapidly as possible.
“[Jack] will take a test tomorrow. He’ll be [ruled] out, yes. It’s a shame since his demeanour in training sessions has improved dramatically in recent days, and he’s played extremely well.
“He helps us play at the proper tempo. Jack is extremely helpful to us. We hope he recovers shortly. He knew there was something wrong. The players know. “They can feel it right away.”
Chelsea and Manchester City battled to a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
Guardiola may need to make tactical alterations due to Grealish and Silva’s absences. It creates an opportunity for other squad members to step up and fill the hole left by these crucial players. The depth and talent of Manchester City’s roster will be challenged, and it will be fascinating to observe how the club responds to these obstacles.
For Chelsea, playing a Manchester City side that may be missing Grealish and Silva could be advantageous. However, the competitive nature of the Premier League means that no game is easy, and the Blues will need to prepare well in order to capitalise on any opportunity.
