Manchester City striker Erling Haaland could not hold back the giggles after team-mate Jack Grealish took a painful blow in training.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Manchester City are back in pre-season ahead of the start of the new 2024-25 Premier League season, with Pep Guardiola busy putting his stars through their paces. Haaland and Grealish, who both missed out on Euro 2024, have been spotted working hard on the training ground but also having a little fun too. Indeed Haaland enjoyed a few laughs after one particular drill saw Grealish floored after being hit in a rather sensitive area.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Grealish has shown off a ripped physique over the summer and has been happy to share updates on his fitness work on social media. The winger has even been training at facilities owned by Juventus as he bids to get off to a strong start to the new campaign after being was left out of Gareth Southgate’s England’s squad for Euro 2024.
WHAT NEXT FOR GREALISH
City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted Grealish “struggled” last season but has backed his winger to bounce back in the 2024-25 campaign. Grealish and City are currently preparing for pre-season friendlies against Celtic, Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea.
