Jack Grealish will not make his return in a Manchester City shirt after being left out of the club's pre-season tour of Asia as he continues to recover from a foot injury.

Everton opted against making permanent Jack Grealish's loan move from Manchester City Manchester City returned to pre-season training last week and midfielder Jack Grealish was spotted among the players who had reported for duty. But any immediate hopes of seeing the 30-year-old donning a City shirt once more were dashed on Tuesday night when he missed out on a seat on the plane for the club's tour of Hong Kong and Seoul over the next 11 days. Sources have said Grealish continues to recuperate from a season-ending foot injury sustained in January during a loan spell at Everton, where he was starting to recapture his best form, and it is too early to speculate what the future might hold. The injury ended not only his time at Hill Dickinson Stadium but an outside shout at playing at the World Cup for England too. Having seemingly been discarded by former boss Pep Guardiola, Grealish now finds himself back at City as he enters the final 12 months of his contract with little sign of being offered new terms on his reported £300,000-a-week wages. The former Aston Villa captain turns 31 in September and the key question is whether new boss Enzo Maresca will reintegrate him into the first-team set-up or be happy to sanction a move which will end his time at Etihad Stadium. The Italian left the door open last week, saying: "At the moment, he is here. He is a Manchester City player. I always said the same. In any club I join, I like to know if there are players that belong to the club.
