Grealish is hoping to get back to top form, having also struggled with injuries last season.
The former Aston Villa star impressed Pep Guardiola during City’s tour of the United States this summer.
“What I have seen so far, one week into pre-season on tour, I loved it,” Guardiola said.
“I don’t care how he performs, every training session is about his effort and his commitment. Against Barcelona he shot five or six times, he was aggressive with the ball, that was it. After that, his qualities do the rest.”
“I know he’s going to be a father soon and we’re so happy about that. The only thing I ask of the players is that – you like to play football, yes, so play.
“Hopefully he can keep it up until the end of the season and compete with everyone else for a place in the starting line-up, just like the rest of them. It depends on him.”
Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Grealish for his performances during the US tour
‘What I see in behavior, in training and how you perform, the more chance you have.’
In addition to Grealish, City will be without Euro 2024 finalists John Stones, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Rodri after they recently returned to training after a lengthy break.
