Josep Guardiola, Manchester City manager revealed. The reason why his beloved winger Jack Grealish was not even named as a substitute in the 2024 Community Shield against Manchester United (10 Aug). Because he was not feeling well, so he chose to avoid the risk.
Grealish has been impressive during the pre-season tour of the United States. Partly because he was left out of England’s Euro 2024 squad, giving him time to work on his fitness. UFABET
However, due to his injury-prone nature. He has been showing signs of injury during the week. Forcing Guardiola to drop him from the squad for the game at Wembley Stadium.
“We are here because we did good things last season – our competitors deserve to be here because they won something.”
“When we go on vacation, all the energy is gone. But when you play an official game, the energy is high again. I look forward to all the energy coming back. I’ll see how we practice, see what kind of mentality we’ve been through.”
“Grealish’s case is painful because he has a little injury. He feels a little unwell, he didn’t feel well yesterday. But if you ask me, I would like to try to play.”
The 28- year-old made just 33 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals and providing one assist , with much of the spell out injured.
