Jack Grealish Set to Bounce Back Despite Limited Playing Time

Jack Grealish, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes, will bounce back from his struggles this season despite his limited playing time. Despite featuring in both legs of the Champions League quarter-final loss to Real Madrid, Jack Grealish only played 10 minutes in City’s May games. He was unused in crucial Premier League matches and the FA Cup final, with Guardiola opting for Jeremy Doku instead. While Grealish made Gareth Southgate’s initial Euro 2024 squad, his final place isn’t guaranteed due to England’s attacking options.

Guardiola remains confident in Grealish’s abilities, stating, “He will be back,” citing his remarkable progress last season. Looking to the summer, Guardiola acknowledges squad issues despite City’s league successes. The future of Kevin de Bruyne is uncertain, with one year left on his contract. Midfielder Kalvin Phillips is expected to leave after a poor loan spell. Goalkeeper Ederson’s future is unclear and Matheus Nunes, signed from Wolves saw limited playtime.

Guardiola admits players may need to decide their future, with possible new signings. Despite uncertainties, his sporting director assures him of next year’s plans. One anticipated addition to Manchester City’s squad is the promising 20-year-old Brazilian winger, Savio. Having impressed during his loan spell at Girona, Savio’s transition from Troyes to Manchester is highly anticipated by fans and pundits alike. His exceptional performances in La Liga have generated excitement about his potential impact in the Premier League.
