Grealish was forced off before half-time at Kenilworth Road and was visibly distraught by his latest setback.
He was replaced by Jeremy Doku after 38 minutes with Pep Guardiola forced into an early change.
After coming off, cameras picked up an emotional Grealish hiding under a training jacket before his team-mates consoled him.
His spirits appeared to have slightly improved by the half-time whistle.
Grealish was seen showing his appreciation to the travelling City fans as he made his way across to the tunnel.
Fitness and injury woes have limited the 28-year-old’s game time this season.
He previously missed six matches with a hamstring issue between August and September.
Meanwhile, he was substituted just 21 minutes into City’s Champions League clash with Copenhagen earlier this month.

Grealish had not returned to action since before starting against the Hatters on Tuesday.
He was absent from the matchday squad against Chelsea and Brentford, but was an unused sub for Saturday’s win over Bournemouth.
Fortunately for City, a first half hat-trick from Erling Haaland had them in control of their last 16 FA Cup tie.
The Norwegian forward’s 37-minute treble saw City take a 3-1 lead into the interval after Jordan Clark scored on the stroke of half-time.
