Jack Grealish, a key player for Manchester City, was unexpectedly left out of the squad for the match against Manchester United due to a last-minute issue. Grealish had been training hard all summer with the team to prepare for the upcoming season, especially after his disappointment of not making it to the England squad for the European Championship. Despite participating in all of City’s pre-season matches in the United States, the winger was unable to join the squad for the Community Shield game against United due to a fitness problem.
City sources have mentioned that Grealish is not fully fit, and it is still unclear how serious the issue is. Manager Pep Guardiola may provide further updates on the situation as the day progresses. This setback comes as a blow to Grealish, who had struggled to perform at his best level last season.
Guardiola has praised Grealish’s dedication and attitude during pre-season, emphasizing the player’s commitment and effort in training sessions. The manager expressed his satisfaction with Grealish’s performance and urged him to continue working hard to secure a spot in the starting XI. Grealish, who is soon to become a father, has the opportunity to showcase his skills and compete with his teammates for a place in the lineup based on his performance and commitment on the field.
Despite this setback, Manchester City fans are hopeful that Grealish will recover quickly and return to the pitch to make a significant impact on the team’s performance. Guardiola’s support and encouragement for Grealish’s development and success demonstrate the team’s confidence in the player’s abilities and potential to excel in the upcoming matches.
As the season progresses, Grealish’s absence will be felt by the team, but his determination and resilience will be key factors in his recovery and return to the field. City supporters are eagerly awaiting updates on his condition and are looking forward to seeing him back in action soon.
