well It is not his decision to make. It is Lee Carsely and medical staff's decision to make. People still don't really understand players do not have a choice if national team calls you up. Of course if you are as senior as Kyle Walker or Harry Kane you can ask the manager to give you a break but others really don't have a choice.

Not remotely true. Any player can tell the national team to go fuck themselves whenever they feel like it.

51 fucking pages have been added to this thread since he last kicked a ball.

The obsession some people on here have with kicking one of our own players whenever they can is baffling.

And not just one of our own players, a man who was a key part of this club becoming European Cup winners.

Absolute proof that Saint Jack divides opinion like no other.....

Well maybe Trump.

Go Jack. :)

Think we all need to go outside more.

It wasn't exactly without reason. Pep said in public he was injured and remained so, then when questioned about his call up if he's injured said grealish wanted to go with England.

Pep isn't saying those things in public for no reason, grealish clearly made a very poor judgement call that pissed off pep which he's now eventually recognised and rectified by pulling out before irreparable damage is done. Dismissing it as something unworthy of comment because it now appears to be sorted is disingenuous.

Course it is, Carsley will speak with them all and must have asked him was he fit to join up and looking at the pictures of earlier today the answer was yes, he had chance to say I can’t make it as I’m not fit and as you know Lee I’ve not been playing for my club, but maybe Carsley is just thick as fuck and good job he ain’t carrying on as Pep wouldn’t be inviting him up here in a hurry

That is your own speculation.

But actually Man city side journalist Jack Gaughan have already wrote about how the medical information was communicated.

Quote:
---
"Asked if Carsley had reached out for an update on Grealish's fitness, Guardiola said no, adding that City's medical department 'haven't told me they spoke' to their England counterparts. FA sources on Friday night insisted they did consult City's doctors about Grealish's availability before calling him up."
---

Pep said "medical department haven't told me they spoke" instead of "have told me they did not speak" meaning he did not know if they spoke or not.

FA staff consulted all club medical teams and gathered a list (and stand by list) for Carsley to choose from. Do you honestly think Carsley himself texting 40+ players asking how are u feeling today?? They email the doctors!

Man City staff was contacted but they did not notice Pep because Pep was super busy playing away games that's all.

Great news that he's pulled out of the England squad, that hopefully puts to be any issues with Pep.

Now time to get fit and get back in the team and get us back on course.

Pep has a way of making his message clear without saying much. I wouldn't hold it against him if he claims to be a "Catalan from the Sicilian side" lol.
