After a month-long injury absence, Grealish shares an update

Jack Grealish has confirmed that he’s “back” in action for Manchester City after a period on the sidelines, which also resulted in him missing out on England duty.

Grealish was conspicuously missing from Manchester City’s Champions League roster in late October for their match against Sparta Prague. Nevertheless, England’s interim manager Lee Carsley unexpectedly selected the 29-year-old for the final squad for the Three Lions’ Nations League fixtures. This choice prompted some surprise, especially considering that City manager Pep Guardiola had previously indicated that Grealish would not be available until following the international break.

After medical evaluations, Jack Grealish was one of nine players to withdraw from the England U21 squad, allowing him the necessary time to recover. Now, following weeks of rehabilitation, Grealish has resumed training with his Manchester City teammates, as he shared on Instagram. Alongside him, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Kevin De Bruyne are also back in training, providing a significant boost to manager Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City’s upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday presents a tough challenge. The Spurs recently eliminated City from the Carabao Cup and will look to replicate their success at the Etihad. With four consecutive defeats in their recent run, Pep Guardiola will aim to use the international break as an opportunity to reset and recalibrate his team’s strategy. Grealish’s return to full fitness could prove crucial in revitalizing the Cityzens and providing a much-needed boost to their attacking options.
