Pep Guardiola believes Jack Grealish has returned to the fine form which helped Manchester City win the Treble last term.

PEP: THIS IS THE GREALISH OF LAST YEAR

The England international amassed 50 appearances in 2022/23 in all competitions – scoring five goals and registering 11 assists as we lifted the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup.

Although he’s made 31 outings in total this season, the 28-year-old has been hampered by injury issues which has limited him to only 17 Premier League showings.

After missing five league matches across February and March, Grealish returned to play back-to-back full 90 minutes in league wins over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
