Grealish offered City fans a glimpse into his training progress with an Instagram story, featuring a collage of images from the session.
Grealish was forced off with an injury after starting in City’s first-leg Champions League clash with Real Madrid last month. However, the injury wasn’t as serious as feared, and he was included in the matchday squad for the following games against Newcastle and Madrid, although he was on the bench for both.
This season, the 29-year-old has started just six Premier League games, and his contribution has been limited, with only two goals across all competitions and five assists in 1229 minutes of action.
His most notable appearances have come in the FA Cup, where he started in the wins against Salford and Leyton Orient, providing three assists in those matches.
