Manchester City fans are desperate to see Jack Grealish back in action after he was hauled off injured in an FA Cup game last month, and the 28-year-old has provided an update on his fitness
Jack Grealish has posted an injury update on social media after missing nearly a month of action.
The Manchester City ace, 28, hasn’t been seen since limping off during his side’s 6-2 mauling of Luton in the FA Cup in February, and isn’t expected back until after the international break. He’ll be eager to end the season on a high to avoid missing out on England’s Euro 2024 squad, which isn’t impossible given the array of attacking talent Gareth Southgate has at his disposal.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Grealish uploaded a few photos of himself doing rehab work at City’s training ground. There were a couple of gym snaps, a couple of him on the treatment table and even one of him sitting underwater at the bottom of a swimming pool.
The former Aston Villa star captioned the post: “Lonely month working my way back,” and was immediately inundated with supportive messages – including one from an account called ‘Jack Grealish’s Legs’.
They wrote: “Things I love. 1) Jack Grealish 2) Puma briefs 3) Jack Grealish in Puma briefs.” Another, not quite so weird, person commented: “You will come back stronger, Jack,” while a third said: “Speedy recovery, we’re all with you mate!”
The £100million man has played just 14 times in the Premier League this season, and has just three goals to his name in 27 appearances in all competitions. If he fails to net twice more before the end of the campaign it’ll go down as his least productive season in a City shirt.
Grealish has scored 14 goals in 116 games overall for the Citizens. He also has two in 35 for England, having been in a regular fixture in the Three Lions setup since making his debut in 2020.
With any luck, he’ll be back fit for the end-of-season run-in, which could culminate with City winning an unprecedented second-successive Treble. They’re favourites to win both the Champions League and FA Cup, and are neck-and-neck(-and neck) with Arsenal and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with two months to go.
