This development could serve as a positive turn for Manchester United, given that Manchester City has suffered a significant injury setback before their upcoming clash.

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Jack Grealish will remain sidelined for several more weeks, missing crucial fixtures including the upcoming Manchester derby.

Despite his early return from a groin injury, Grealish faced a setback during the FA Cup match against Luton Town.

Guardiola expressed uncertainty about Grealish’s return timeline, suggesting he won’t be available before the international break.

This setback affects not only the derby but also key matches against Copenhagen, Liverpool, and Newcastle.

Guardiola stressed the importance of Grealish’s full recovery and highlighted the squad’s depth, with players like Rodri and Phil Foden expected to step up.

Despite challenges, Guardiola expressed confidence in the team’s ability to perform well in the upcoming fixtures.
