Jack Grealish reacts to Phil Foden’s training update after Man City exit claim

Jack Grealish reacted Phil Foden’s latest message to Manchester City fans, as speculation surrounding his own future at the club continues to grow.

Man City are gearing up for their clash against Nottingham Forest on 8 March, having had a midweek break following their elimination from the Champions League play-offs at the hands of Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola’s side have struggled to keep pace in the Premier League this season and find themselves trailing leaders Liverpool by a staggering 20 points.

Injuries have also plagued City’s campaign, with Nathan Ake recently confirming he underwent surgery, while key players like Erling Haaland and Grealish have also endured spells on the sidelines.

After another inconsistent season, Football Insider revealed that Guardiola is set to make a decision on Grealish’s future. However, despite the rumours, the winger remains engaged with his teammates, reacting to Foden’s post as preparations continue for the next challenge.

Foden shared a series of training photos on Instagram with the caption: “Training sessions in the sun hit different.”

Grealish was among the City players to engage with the post, liking the update alongside Rico Lewis and Savinho.

Foden has faced criticism from Man City fans this season for inconsistent performances, as has Grealish, with both English internationals struggling to meet expectations.

While Foden has managed just seven Premier League goals, Grealish is yet to find the net in the competition this season, further fuelling discussions about his form.

Pep Guardiola faces summer decision on Jack Grealish’s future

The former Aston Villa player has been reduced to a rotational role this season, making just six league starts and 26 appearances all season.

Man City fans have voiced their frustrations over Grealish and his performances, especially with the emergence of players like Savinho and Jeremy Doku, who have impressed on the left flank in his absence.

It’s clear that he is no longer a guaranteed starter, and even with injuries affecting the squad, he has struggled to cement his place in Guardiola’s side. With his future in doubt, speculation is bound to intensify when the summer transfer window opens.
