JACK GREALISH has been dropped from Manchester City’s squad to face Fulham this afternoon.
Pep Guardiola‘s side need a point to guarantee Champions League qualification for next season.

Grealish, 29, has fallen out of favour this term, starting just one Prem match in 2025.
According to the Telegraph, the former Aston Villa star will not feature at all at Craven Cottage.
SunSport revealed yesterday that Grealish believes he may have to leave City in order to force his way back into the England set-up.
The attacker was left out of Thomas Tuchel‘s latest squad announced on Friday.
Grealish is set to for summer talks with City chiefs in order to determine his future.
The 39-cap star has two years remaining on his contract at the Etihad.
Guardiola opted to leave the former £100million man on the bench even as his side chased an equaliser in last week’s FA Cup final.
The City boss instead turned to 19-year-old Claudio Echeverri, despite the Argentine having been yet to play since his February arrival.

Guardiola recently pleaded for City chiefs to trim his squad ahead of next season.
The 54-year-old admitted: “I said to the club I don’t want that [a bigger squad].
“I don’t want to leave five or six players in the freezer. I don’t want that. I will quit. Make a shorter squad, I will stay.
“It’s impossible for my soul to [tell] my players in the tribune [stands] that they cannot play.”
Grealish’s availability is set to spark transfer interest this summer.
But his £300,000 a week wages may provide a hefty stumbling block.
The England hopeful could even go out on loan in a bid for first team football.
