Jack Grealish mocked as England Euro 2024 exile spotted sporting wild new look

Jack Grealish has been spotted preparing for the 2024/25 campaign.

Manchester City star Jack Grealish has been spotted donning a brave new look as he prepares for the 2024/25 campaign.

The playmaker was surprisingly omitted from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024 after a shaky season at the Etihad Stadium, and the ex-Aston Villa ace will be keen to prove his worth in the upcoming campaign.

Grealish has been spotted working hard on training pitches in Italy ahead of the campaign, which will have pleased Pep Guardiola, though he appears to have still found the time to visit a hairdresser.

The 28-year-old appears to have ditched his somewhat iconic look of his long brown hair and a hairband, with images showing that he has opted to dye his locks blonde in a significant change by the winger.

Grealish donned his new look with a hat this weekend, though it remains to be seen whether further images emerge of the forward and if the blonde is here to stay or just a temporary hairstyle that will be ditched upon his return to training with his City teammates.

Despite not being named in England’s squad to travel to Germany, Grealish has been the name on the lips of many Three Lions supporters due to their side’s struggles in the final third.
England topped Group C in unconvincing fashion and significant questions have been raised about Southgate and his starting eleven as a result, with some feeling that Grealish’s ball retention and desire to create would have offered the team something different out wide.
But Southgate insisted after naming his squad that it was hard to justify his inclusion given the form of other Premier League stars. Explaining the decision to leave Grealish and James Maddison at home, the ex-Middlesbrough boss said: “The fact is we’ve got some players who have been playing extremely well all season in the league and we just feel other players have had stronger seasons – particularly in the past six months or so.

“[James Maddison] and Jack [Grealish] would have provided us with something different as well and they’ve been tough calls. They’re calls we’ve gone over and over and over as a group of staff to try to be fair and to try to use the right rationale.

“We back our decisions but we recognise we could have gone a different route. The boys are big characters, fabulous team-mates and great boys to work with. It’s sad to have to deliver that news to them.
