Last minute injury: Grealish unavailable for Man City for the Community Shield

Pep Guardiola has some bad news just hours before playing the first of the finals he faces this year. The Manchester City manager will not be able to count on one of his most outstanding players in pre-season, Jack Grealish.

The England winger, one of the big absentees at the last European Championship, will not play in Saturday's Community Shield final due to a last-minute injury sustained in a training session.

'The Sun' has announced his unconfirmed absence from the game against Manchester United, although it did not state the England international's condition.

It is bad news for Guardiola, who has not yet recovered the internationals who reached the final of the European Championship, including Rodri Hernandez, John Stones, Phil Foden and Kyle Walker.

As a result, the Manchester City boss will have to find an alternative in his squad for the left winger, which opens the door for Jeremy Doku to start.
