Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Jack Grealish will be in the matchday squad for the FA Cup quarter-final tie against Newcastle this weekend.
The winger has not played since coming off before half-time in the 6-2 win over Luton Town in the last round of the competition. However, when asked at his pre-match press conference whether the England international would be available on Saturday evening, Guardiola replied:
“Yeah [Jack is getting better] He’ll be selected in the group [for this weekend].”
Considering Grealish has not played for nearly three weeks, it’s likely that he will only be on the bench at the Etihad.
