Jack Grealish warned his 'career might slip away' if he doesn't snap 'back into football mode' at Man City

Premier League

Manchester City

Brighton

<p>Grealish has only started 14 matches in all competitions for City this season, including six in the Premier League. His playing time has diminished since he played a crucial part in City's treble in 2022-23 - and former England international Teddy Sheringham believes he needs to snap "back into football mode" at the Etihad.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Grealish has suffered a succession of injuries this season and City boss Pep Guardiola revealed last week that his "problems" prevent him from playing as often as he would like. The England international was also spotted drinking in a pub in east Manchester on Sunday, which was on a sanctioned day off but may not have gone down well with Guardiola, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/savinho-in-better-shape-than-jack-pep-guardiola-rips-into-grealish-shock-outburst-man-city-boss-suggests-winger-not-giving-best/blt5eaa49b8b607cff1" target="_blank">who claimed City winger Savinho was in "better shape" than Grealish in January</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ex-Manchester United and Tottenham striker Sheringham told <a href="https://www.primecasino.co.uk/blog/journal/teddy-sheringham-exclusive/" target="_blank">Prime Casino</a>: "I used to work hard, play hard in my day, but you still need to know when to play hard. There have always been players over the years that worked OK and played hard, and their football abilities fell off a cliff. Jack's a little bit in that mold at the moment. They won the treble, and he celebrated, and it doesn't seem like he's got back into his football mode yet. He needs to, otherwise his career might slip away. He's had a couple of injuries, I know he has, but it's amazing how easy it is for a football career to slip away. He needs to get his focus back again and make sure that he gets back in the Man City team and stays free of injuries. To do that, you have to do the right things at the right times. I think he needs to get his focus back on football and everything else will fall into place."</p>

WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID

<p>City are next in action at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday, in a crucial game for both side's top-four hopes. They then host Brighton before an FA Cup quarter-final encounter against Bournemouth after the March international break.</p>
