Manchester City's English midfielder #10 Jack Grealish (R) speaks to Manchester City's Spanish manager Pep Guardiola as he leaves the pitch due to an injury during the UEFA Champions League football match between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. AFP
Grealish crouched down in his own half and received treatment before being replaced by Phil Foden.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the injury, but the England international appeared to be holding his groin when talking to manager Pep Guardiola on the sideline.
Despite not being able to play on, Grealish was able to walk off the field and down the players’ tunnel. He appeared to be walking with a slight limp.
Grealish cost a then-British record 100 million pounds ($139 million) when he joined City from Aston Villa in 2021.
With City, he has won three Premier League titles and a trophy treble in 2023 which also included the Champions League and FA Cup.
Grealish has endured a difficult campaign this year when he has made only six league starts.
