Pep Guardiola issues apology to out-of-favour Man City star over lack of playing time - as he insists it's 'nothing personal' and admits they 'deserve' to have more minutes on the pitch' Pep Guardiola has issued a public apology to one of his players over a lack of playing time this season, admitting that he 'deserves' more minutes on the pitch.
Grealish has made 148 appearances for Man City since his summer arrival back in 2021 - but in a similar vein the Savinho, his output has drawn criticsm.
And despite his £100million price tag, Jack Grealish is spending much of his time on the sidelines as of late - something Guardiola feels is an injustice given the player's vast ability.
While Savinho's output hasn't been particularly remarkable when consulting the stats - scoring just once and assisting six in 19 games - it's his work in the build-up and defensive efforts that have stood out to Guardiola, often using his skill and pace to break the lines and fashion opportunities.
Pep Guardiola has apologised to Grealish for his lack of game time throughout this term.
