Grealish injury
Jack Grealish says the injury which kept him out at City's recent matches was among the most painful he's ever suffered. The attacker picked up a dead leg against Sheffield United and said the City doctors had described it as the worst injury of its kind that he'd seen.

Grealish explained how while the knock might have seemed innocuous at the time, it became one of his most difficult to recover from in his career.
