Poor Jack Grealish cannot buy a break at the minute.
The England winger was left out of Gareth Southgateβs squad for the European Championship after a disappointing season with Manchester City in which he struggled for form and fitness.
But, having gone away and worked hard on an individual programme over the summer, he returned to City determined to make his mark.
However, he could do with telling his team-mates to act with a little more kindness as, for the second time in a little over a week, the former Aston Villa man was the butt of the jokes following another rondo embarrassment.

And while this time he wasnβt caught in a ‘sensitive area’, Grealishβs pride will have taken another battering as a stray ball caught him square on the nose while the players trained on Cityβs pre-season tour of the United States.
Pep Guardiolaβs men are next in action against his former club Barcelona tonight.
What happened last time?
Well, Grealish copped it somewhere else…
Sorry Jack!
We got it, @ErlingHaaland! π
