Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has released a 27-man squad for the upcoming Club World Cup, with England international Jack Grealish being the most notable omission as speculation grows about his future at the club.
Grealish, who has struggled for consistent playing time in recent months, is widely expected to leave the Premier League champions during the summer transfer window. His absence from the tournament squad further fuels rumors of an imminent departure.
Meanwhile, City's recent signings Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Tijjani Reijnders have all been included in the squad, giving them an early opportunity to integrate with their new teammates in competitive action.
The Premier League giants are scheduled to begin their Club World Cup campaign against Moroccan side Wydad AC on June 18.
