Jack Grealish, after experiencing his first major international tournament at last summer's Euros, has now ticked another box on his career goals list, as he's set to be part of a matchday squad with England at a World Cup.
The Manchester City attacker was always expected to be included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the tournament in Qatar, but his lack of goals and assists for Pep Guardiola's side this term did make some people question his inclusion in the group. However, having recorded two assists in five appearances at the European Championship last year, he has already demonstrated his worth in a Three Lions shirt.
Grealish has come in for criticism for his City record since his £100million transfer in 2021, as well as his performances, but Guardiola has always defended the 27-year-old, even claiming that he is not in the team to score or assist. While the Blues man is unlikely to be utilised as a starter throughout the World Cup in Qatar, it is important that he follows the advice his club manager offered him earlier in the campaign.
