On August 10th, according to an exclusive report by The Sun, Manchester City's star player Jack Grealish will have to miss the upcoming Community Shield match between Manchester City and Manchester United due to an accidental injury in training. The news undoubtedly poured cold water on the fans who were looking forward to witnessing the debut of City's luxury lineup at Wembley Stadium.
Gralish had an eye-catching pre-season with Manchester City, winning high praise from manager Pep Guardiola for his outstanding play and was once considered as a starting candidate in the Community Shield match. However, as fate would have it, on the eve of the Manchester derby, the striker suffered an injury in training, which was undoubtedly another heavy blow for him.
It's worth noting that this isn't the only setback for Gralish in recent times. Prior to this, he was surprisingly left out of England national team manager Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024, a decision that was widely debated and discussed. Nonetheless, Gralish did not give up on his chance to prove himself, and he responded to the skepticism with a strong display of strength and fighting spirit during City's pre-season tour.
However, injuries have once again become a stumbling block in the way of Gralish. For Manchester City, the absence of Gralish will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the team's offensive line. As an important member of the team, Gralish's speed and breakthrough ability in the game can often create a huge threat to the opponent. His absence will force Guardiola to make new adjustments to the team's tactics and lineup.
Nonetheless, Manchester City, as a strong and powerful team, has many excellent players and strong bench depth. We believe that under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, City will be able to quickly adapt to this change and show strong strength and team spirit in the game. At the same time, we also wish that Geraldine will recover soon and return to the field to continue to bring exciting games for the fans.
