Grealish a doubt for Chelsea trip
- Published
Jack Grealish is a doubt for Manchester City’s opening Premier League game of the season against Chelsea on Sunday.
Grealish missed the Community Shield triumph over Manchester United on Sunday after suffering a hamstring injury in training.
Although manager Pep Guardiola said it "isn’t a big problem", he acknowledged the 28-year-old could be out for three weeks or a month if he aggravated the problem during a match.
Grealish has played a full part in City’s pre-season campaign after being overlooked by England for Euro 2024.
City entertain newly-promoted Ipswich at the Etihad Stadium on 24 August after starting their title defence at Stamford Bridge.
"I don’t think it is much," said Guardiola. "It was a blow but we didn’t want to take a risk.
"Maybe he will be OK for Chelsea but if not, it will be Ipswich."
