Jack Grealish has a similar problem at England to the one he does at Manchester City.
There are too many good options in front of him to be starting regularly, but when he does come off the bench he's showing signs he deserves more minutes. It's a limbo that has characterised Grealish's first year at City, although maybe his 18-minute cameo for England vs Germany on Tuesday can start to unlock a pathway to a starting spot for club and country.
After the game, England boss Gareth Southgate told reporters how Grealish can improve to earn more starting caps for the Three Lions. Inside that advice could be a hint that Grealish can bring back to City and use to unlock his Etihad prospects.
