City are set to face Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday evening, and manager Guardiola has provided updates on the team’s absent players. Guardiola, the former Barcelona boss, stated that Grealish, who sustained a foot injury during the midweek match against FC Copenhagen, will not be able to play. Additionally, Silva, who was substituted in the second half due to an injury, will undergo a late fitness assessment. Kovacic and Sergio Gomez have resumed training, while Gvardiol is still unfit to return.
Addressing reporters on Friday, Guardiola stated, “Jack [Grealish] I think will not be ready. I don’t know [his condition]. I need to speak with the doctors. I only know he is not able to play tomorrow. Bernardo [Silva] we will assess today in the afternoon training session. [Mateo] Kova [Kovacic] is training and Sergio [Gomez] as well. The rest we will see.”
Following City’s 3-1 Champions League victory over Copenhagen on Tuesday, Guardiola mentioned that Gvardiol would be sidelined for “two or three weeks” due to an ankle ligament injury.
Silva has emerged as a pivotal figure for City over the seasons, contributing eight goals and four assists across all competitions this season. His absence would be a significant setback for the Cityzens. However, the return of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne from injury provides some relief, and Guardiola’s squad has demonstrated resilience even in the absence of key players.
Should Silva fail to recover in time for the Chelsea clash, Guardiola’s City will hope to have him back for the home fixture against Brentford on Tuesday, or for the away match against Bournemouth on February 24th.
