Grealish, Gvardiol - Man City injury news and return dates after Manchester United win
Manchester City underlined their Premier League title credentials with a 3-1 comeback victory against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Phil Foden (2) and Erling Haaland did the damage as the treble-winners moved a point behind Liverpool at the English summit.
Marcus Rashford had opened the scoring for United with a stunning 25-yarder. However, upon the restart, City got back into the game and flexed their muscle to grab cross-city bragging rights.
Foden was at the double and Haaland, who missed a sitter in the opening 45 minutes, responded in the best way. Table-topping Liverpool are next up for City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as we provide a round-up from their treatment table before that enticing showdown;

What Guardiola has said: "I don't think [he will be back before the internationals]. I haven't spoken to the doctors, but I think he has to recover well to use him as much as possible. We have an alternative. Setbacks in life are always there and it's how you overcome them."
Injury: Ankle
Return date: n/a
What Guardiola has said: "Josko is good. He's training without much pain. He still hasn't trained with us, but he's on the verge of coming back."
Gvardiol returned to the matchday squad against United on Sunday afternoon. However, the ex-RB Leipzig starlet was an unused substitute in that match as Guardiola opted against rushing him back.
