Jack Grealish is expected to be left out of Manchester City’s Club World Cup squad, Sky Sports News has learned.
City have to submit their final 35-player squad ahead of the tournament in the USA but, as it stands, the England international will not be part of next week's travelling party.
Grealish has two years left on his Man City contract and will fight for his place after struggling for game time this season.
If any options come up during the summer for a move, they will be considered.
Due to his transfer fee and contract, a loan move later in the summer may become a possibility.
City boss Pep Guardiola revealed last month that the club, Grealish and his representatives will look to work out a solution on his future this summer.
The 29-year-old has been linked with moves to other clubs in the Premier League and abroad.
Grealish joined City in the summer of 2021 from Aston Villa for £100m - a then British-record transfer deal - and played a key role in City securing the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup to complete a historic treble two years later.
But this season, Grealish started just seven league games and was an unused substitute in City's FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.
What Pep said about Grealish's future...
Grealish was dropped for City's final match of the season, and after the 2-0 win at Fulham, an animated Guardiola accepted the winger could leave Man City this summer.
"It was selection," said the Spaniard. "Of course Jack has to play. He's an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days.
"It didn't happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it, and that's with us, or another place. And that's a question for Jack, his agent, and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he fought like he fought from day one to make a contribution, but not today."
Put to Guardiola that he is unhappy with Grealish, the Spaniard snapped back: "Who said I'm not happy with Jack? Rico (Lewis) was not selected, (James) McAtee was exceptional against Aston Villa and Wolves. Why not ask me about McAtee?
"It's not personal. I have 24 players, I have to get rid of six players for the last game and five today because (Mateo) Kovacic got sent off.
"I'm the person who fought for Jack to come here, and the person who fought for him to stay here this season and the next season. I'm the one who said: 'I want Jack Grealish'. What happens in the future is a job for (directors of football) Txiki (Begiristain), Hugo (Viana) and the agents."

Yeah Mr Short Socks - now you couldn’t perform after securing high salary - why didn’t the contract state any protection clause for the club to reduce salary if performance not up to the expectations. Club or Player is bigger now? Contradicting factors

He didn’t have enough playing time, another mistake from Pep! I think Pep is getting personal with some players like Jack, same way he got personal with Palmer and released him to join Chelsea, saying he is not ready to play, and we all saw how great he was with Chelsea. Pep is done!!

Pep Guardiola is a outstanding couch and he has the ability to make he's players one of the world's best team and i feel sorry for Grealish but he didn't fight hard enough to keep he's place in Man City and i know for a fact that Guardiola didn't give up on Grealish he gave up on himself and the team and for Pep to make a success of he's team again he have to make such decisions and he isn't the only one that makes those decisions it's the board as well so i have a great respect for him as a couch and he knows what's best and right for the team my he keep up the good work

No, the omission means, the club has decided to move on from him and what remains is to find a club for him either permanently or on loan. He no longer a Man City player form the footballing perspective.

Guardiola shouldn't attempt throwing dust into the eyes of the footballing public. He indeed doesn't need to be fair and blunt about the Grealish issue for us to know his stand on the player. Let it be known to Pep that people can read between the lines and draw their conclusions. We all know the player's season has been blighted with injuries which affected his output and has made him fall under the pecking order. So we expect Pep to come clear on Jack's status and stop beating about the bush. If you're to submit a list of 35 players for a tournament like the CWC and a player like Grealish is omitted that really tells you there's a fundamental issue responsible for the omission.

We said it before, this guy is too overrated, Aston Villa did good business 100m, now 35 member squad he can’t fit, but anyway Jack go and do what your know best, GO AND DOWN THE ALCOHOL and get a celebrity Gold Digger lady for yourself to drown your sorrow
