City winger Jack Grealish, who was on the bench for the recent 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, is expected to be part of the squad traveling to Luton for the FA Cup fifth-round tie. Grealish had started the Champions League first leg at FC Copenhagen but had to leave the match early due to an ιnjᴜry, which, fortunately, turned out to be not too serious.
Pep Guardiola, City’s manager, expressed confidence in Grealish’s form, mentioning his recovery and return to peak performance in the crucial phase of the season. Guardiola emphasized the player’s importance to the team and hopes Grealish can make a significant impact similar to the previous season. Despite a busy schedule, Guardiola confirmed that both Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne are available for the upcoming game at Kenilworth Road and mentioned that the final lineup decision would be made after assessing the players’ condition and training performance.
