Jack Grealish breaks silence on Miguel Almiron jibe with apology for 'stupid' dig at Newcastle star

Jack Grealish admits he regrets his now infamous social media jibe at Miguel Almiron's expense. However, the England international insists he is 'buzzing' with the Newcastle United star's response following a sensational start to the season.

Grealish used an unflattering comparison with Almiron to describe team-mate Riyad Mahrez's performance on the final day of last season during Manchester City's title celebrations in May. The former Aston Villa captain argued Mahrez deserved to be substituted for 'playing like Almiron '.

The Paraguay international had struggled to make an impact under Eddie Howe, and had failed to deliver consistently in the final third during his time on Tyneside. However, the 28-year-old has been a player reborn this term, and was named the Premier League's Player of the Month for October.
