Grealish Left Out of Man City Pre-Season Tour as Foot Injury Absence Confirmed
Grealish Left Out of Man City Pre-Season Tour as Foot Injury Absence Confirmed

Jack Grealish has been omitted from Manchester City's pre-season tour of Asia as he continues his recovery from a foot injury sustained during his loan spell at Everton last season. The 30-year-old, who joined City for £100 million in 2021, will miss matches against Inter Milan, the K-League All-Stars and Atletico Madrid.

Grealish spent the entire 2025/26 campaign on loan at Everton, but his contributions were limited after picking up the foot problem. He has not played since that injury and has one year remaining on his City contract, fuelling speculation over his future at the Etihad.

New City boss Enzo Maresca said of Grealish: 'At the moment, he's here. He's a Man City player. It's my duty to try to coach them. Jack is here. I have a good relation with Jack since I left. We keep in touch, and the reason why is because he has a big heart and he's a very good guy. And then we see what happens.'

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has tipped Grealish for a move abroad this summer, saying: 'It will be interesting to see what happens with Jack. I don't see him staying there, I see him moving on. It wouldn't surprise me if he moves somewhere else in Europe. I don't see him staying in the Premier League.'

Grealish has made 157 appearances for City since his move from Villa, scoring 17 goals and winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League.
