Jack Grealish is suffering through a very rough season, as the injury bug keeps coming back for more bites. In the 6-2 FA Cup 5th round win over Luton Town, the English winger suffered a groin injury, and there is no timeline for his return.
“I didn’t speak to doctors but I think he complained a bit about the groin,” said City manager Pep Guardiola.
“Maybe a little bit similar. He felt really good but unfortunately was injured again at the beginning of the game. It’s been a tough season for him, has to recover well and help us when he’s able to come back.”
Jack Grealish joined City from Aston Villa in 2021 for $126m (£100m/€117m). The deal made him the first 100M GBP English born player ever. However, City are just not getting any ROI from him this year, due to all his injuries.
