Manchester City had the most players (14) from their squad participate in the recent 2024 European Championship compared to any other Premier League team. With these players still on holiday, other big-name figures and talented youngsters are taking part in the club’s preseason tour of America. However, former player Dean Saunders expressed his surprise that Jack Grealish was not included in the England squad for the Euros, despite his impressive performance in training as noted by Pep Guardiola.
Although Grealish had a modest record of three goals and one assist in 20 Premier League games last season, his ability to create scoring chances for his team was evident with the fourth-highest rate of shot-creating actions per 90 minutes in the City squad. Saunders believes Grealish could have made a difference for England in the tournament, citing his ball-carrying skills, ability to draw fouls, and contribute to set pieces. The pundit questions why Grealish was overlooked, emphasizing his potential impact on matches and the missed opportunities for England.
