Guardiola gives conditions to sign new Man City contract

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has revealed that Jack Grealish is an injury doubt for their Premier League opening fixture against Chelsea.

Grealish picked up a knock in training ahead of the Community Shield clash against Manchester United and was not picked for the game at Wembley.

The England midfielder could also be unavailable for their trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

“Discomfort for two days but especially on Friday, his feeling wasn’t good.

“I don’t think it’s a big issue but we didn’t want to take a risk. It’s a blow, he had rhythm and was aggressive.

“Maybe against Chelsea he will be ready or I’m pretty sure against Ipswich Town. If he’d got injured now it could be three weeks or a month out,” Grealish said.
