“I don’t like to talk about Manchester City but i must say this, the way Manchester City is treating my country man is not right”- Real Madrid Star Jude Bellingham reveals his £60M City countryman is very angry and frustrated with Pep Guardiola Not Phil Foden, Not Kelvin Phillips.
Jack Grealish reportedly had a strong reaction to Pep Guardiola’s decision to sit him again for the team’s Monday night trip to Brentford.
The Premier League champions defeated Brentford 3-1, thanks to a hat-trick from Phil Foden.
The Bees took the lead via Neil Maupay, but Foden’s hat-trick sealed all three points for Guardiola’s side, who are now two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand.
City extended their unbeaten streak to 12 games as the triple champions look to replicate last season’s success.
It has been stated that the Manchester City manager’s choice of starting lineup has enraged Jack Grealish, with the English international taking offence at being benched for the fourth consecutive game.
According to MCFCTone on X, Grealish left the team’s training session early because he was “not happy” over being left on the bench for Monday night’s game against Brentford in West London.
This season, Jack Grealish has made 18 starts for Manchester City and five substitute appearances.
Given that City won comfortably, few would question the City manager’s pick, albeit Grealish’s unhappiness over not getting enough playing time is understandable.
Guardiola’s team will face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday; a win would move them above Liverpool at the top of the league table.
