Jack Grealish ‘Heartbroken’ To Miss Euro 2024

Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has admitted to feeling ‘heartbroken’ after missing out on a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for 2024, however, he is using it as motivation ahead of what is set to be another incredibly tight Premier League title battle.

Speaking during City’s pre-season tour of the US, Grealish said “When you are on your holidays, every time you turn on the phone or the TV you just see it [the tournament], so it was hard not to see.”

“I’ll be honest, football-wise it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to deal with in terms of my own career.”

“I was absolutely heartbroken. For myself now moving forward, I have to just try and use that as motivation going into this season.”

“I felt I should have been in the [England] squad.”

“I feel like I offer something different to players in the England squad.”

“But it is what it is.”

“As I said, it was the hardest moment for me as a footballer. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my career.”
