That’s a bit like saying “If he’s not fit for City today, how can he be ready to play for City next week”
Players recover from injury all the time. They have to play their first game back at some point.
I get why fans are annoyed, but the vast majority of footballers see representing their country as the pinnacle of their career.Aye that’s true, there’s also a saying that goes on the lines of don’t bite the hand that feeds you as well but then again that probably doesn’t matter once you’ve made it as a pro footballer
I don’t know how any City fan can defend this situation at this present moment, I really can’t mate

Grealish has won pretty much everything in club football, so he’ll want to win something with England to complete his career. Couple that with being dropped in the summer and I can see why he’s desperate to go.
Against this is the fact we’ve lost 3 in a row and have an injury crisis. That coupled with most fans being indifferent about England creates the animosity towards Grealish.
The timing of Grealish’s recovery is what has created this. Had he been fit 3 days earlier, he’d have played some part against Fulham and gone off to England with Pep’s blessing. Had he been fit 3 days later, then he wouldn’t have been called up at all.
Grealish has weighed up the options and seemingly has decided that annoying Pep isn’t as important as missing games for his country.
He’ll have to face whatever the consequences are in a few weeks.
Grealish really needs a run if being injury free and finding his best form. That’ll dampen down all of this.I understand that but pinnacle of playing for England is a bit extreme, well in my eyes it is, just a bizarre decision for me him going, and as much as I hate the ****, that pisscan over the road wouldn’t have let this happen in a million years, I’m not saying Pep doesn’t have a control but this smells bad all the same
Grealish has made his choice it seems and will have to take the consequence that comes with that decision as you say, interesting times ahead after the break, another headache the club could do without as well

That’s one way of looking at it. He could equally believe that training and getting some minutes with England will make him more ready for the Spurs match for City.Comes across as a bit of a cuntish attitude
Funnily enough going away with England, training and playing a few minutes might actually do him good fitness wise. But there's a complete disconnect with him and pep by the looks of it
Pep didn’t seem to happy with his decision, would have been better for city if he gaveEngland a miss this time around….That’s one way of looking at it. He could equally believe that training and getting some minutes with England will make him more ready for the Spurs match for City.
IF its a him/pep problem probably wants to get around another group of lads and play?Pep didn’t seem to happy with his decision, would have been better for city if he gaveEngland a miss this time around….
