Grealish was making his first start since the FA Cup third round tie against Huddersfield more than five weeks ago and had played just 17 minutes of football since then.

DID YOU KNOW?
City had a full strength squad available against Copenhagen for the first time this season. They were without Kevin De Bruyne for five months, Erling Haaland for two while John Stones has missed large parts of the campaign with separate issues, but all started at Parken Stadium on Tueday night.

City will be hoping that Grealish's injury is not serious and that he is available again in time for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea. They play the second leg at home to Copenhagen on March 6.
