JACK GREALISH showed off his nifty footwork as he staged a Michael Flatley-style Riverdance jig on a night out in Dubai.
The England ace headed for the sunshine to lick his wounds after being snubbed from new Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel's squad.
He has also spent a large part of the international break working away with a personal trainer to get in top shape for the remainder of the season.
After enjoying some drinks at Irish bar McGettigans JLT in Dubai, the £100m Manchester City ace danced the night away to beat the blues.
A source said: "Jack was gutted to be ditched from the England squad.
"He has been struggling for form in Manchester too.
"So a sunshine break with pals was just what he needed to put a spring back in his step for the rest of the season."
Tuchel has kept the door open for Grealish to return to the England fold.
The City star has started just six Premier League games this season and is without a goal in the top-flight since December 2023.
Grealish missed out on Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad but returned to the side under interim boss Lee Carsley.
England boss Tuchel said: "I love Jack. I love everything about him. I love his personality, I love his quality.
"Is he a player that should be available and can have an impact in our squad?
"Yes, 100 per cent. But lately, he simply has no rhythm and he and I agree 100 per cent with this.
"He said 'Listen Thomas, I’m not a start-stop player.
"It is so hard for me to influence a match from the bench and then be on the bench again, and then two weeks later I start again’.
“I’m not judging anyone, not at all, but it’s just a characteristic of Jack. He gets better with every minute."
Grealish opened up on the "most difficult year of his life" in an emotional interview last month.
The former Aston Villa star welcomed baby Mila Rose in September with girlfriend Sasha Attwood.
But his Euros snub and loss of form for City led the £100m-man into a tough place.
Grealish admitted: " Last year, the whole year itself, it was weird because my little daughter was born, but apart from that it was one of the most difficult years.
"Probably the most difficult year of my life for many reasons, on and off the pitch."
Grealish was the toast of the North East earlier this month after walking into a social club and getting a round in.
The winger bought 200 PINTS for lucky punters at the North Biddick Social Club in Washington.
Grealish posed for photos and chatted with locals on a visit to Richard Logan, 37, brother of fellow Three Lions star Jordan Pickford.
One local punter told The Daily Mail: "Jack was a total gentleman.
"£500 is enough to keep the whole bar in pints for a good few hours.
"What a star he was, he can come back any time."
