(Reuters) - Midfielder Jack Grealish must seize any opportunity he can to force his way back into Manchester City's starting line-up amid healthy competition for places in the squad, manager Pep Guardiola said ahead of their Champions League clash against Young Boys.

Grealish suffered a dead leg in a win over Sheffield United in August which kept him out of two games last month. Since his return, the England international has struggled for game time, starting on the bench in City's last four Premier League matches.
