Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-29 15:49:00.
Jack Grealish has been excluded from Manchester City’s squad for their preseason tour of Asia as he continues his recovery from a foot injury. The 30-year-old midfielder has not played since January after undergoing surgery while on loan at Everton.
Grealish rejoined training with City last week but did not travel with the team to Hong Kong. Enzo Maresca, in his first news conference, suggested that Grealish could still play for City this season. However, with Grealish remaining in Manchester to focus on his fitness, a return appears less likely.
As of now, there are no definitive plans concerning Grealish’s next move, as he remains under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2027. Everton is reportedly interested in securing another loan deal, while other clubs from the Premier League, MLS, and Saudi Arabia have made tentative inquiries.
In addition to Grealish, midfielder Kalvin Phillips has also been left out of City’s traveling squad as he approaches a potential loan move to Championship side Sheffield United.
Maresca has managed to include several FIFA World Cup 2026 participants in his traveling squad, including Tijjani Reijnders, Mateo Kovacic, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Josko Gvardiol, Antoine Semenyo, and Abdukodir Khusanov. Claudio Echeverri is another player who has joined the squad after loan spells at Bayer Leverkusen and Girona. Meanwhile, speculation continues around Savinho as Tottenham is said to be preparing another bid for the Brazilian winger.
