Nightmare for Jack Grealish! Man City winger limps off just 21 minutes into first start in five weeks against Copenhagen with suspected groin injury

Grealish went down in a heap after a challenge from Diogo Goncalves and immediately had a concerned look on his face. He received a bit of treatment on the pitch and tried to continue but was quickly taken off by Pep Guardiola and replaced by Jeremy Doku.

Grealish was making his first start since the FA Cup third round tie against Huddersfield more than five weeks ago and had played just 17 minutes of football since then. And last Friday Guardiola urged him to rediscover the form he showed last season, when he was an integral part of the team that won the treble.

City had a full strength squad available against Copenhagen for the first time this season. They were without Kevin De Bruyne for five months, Erling Haaland for two while John Stones has missed large parts of the campaign with separate issues, but all started at Parken Stadium on Tueday night.

City will be hoping that Grealish's injury is not serious and that he is available again in time for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea. They play the second leg at home to Copenhagen on March 6.
