And the 28-year-old has explained how he was left debilitated by an extreme dead leg that had City medical staff staggered.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve had so many dead legs over the years and I am usually good at taking them, taking the hits and stuff,\u2019 said Grealish. \u2018You have little ones that are there for two to three days \u2014 but if you get a dead leg and you have the haematoma (a bleeding outside the blood vessels), a bad one, it\u2019s around six centimetres (two-and-a-half inches).<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Mine was like 20 centimetres. Our doctor (Max Sala) said it\u2019s the worst dead leg he\u2019s ever seen, by a mile.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It wasn\u2019t even bad, the tackle. It was Oli McBurnie. If I showed you the tackle now, you\u2019d be like, \u201cGet up\u201d. But the pain\u2026honestly! After the game it was sore. But when I was on the coach, I was like, \u201cI need something here\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/22\/76493517-12625217-image-a-56_1697144525044.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jack Grealish has revealed he suffered an eight-inch haematoma on his thigh last month<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/22\/76493633-12625217-image-a-57_1697144675602.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Grealish said Man City&#8217;s doctor claimed it was the worst dead leg he had ever seen<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I went to walk off the coach back into the training ground at City and I genuinely could not walk. I couldn\u2019t bend my leg. I had to get crutches.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was the worst pain ever. I was going into City every day. I was in for 14 days in a row because you need to keep it moving. Five weeks later, it\u2019s all right.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Grealish, who is effectively undergoing a second pre-season because the injury prevented him completing fitness training, is in line to start for England against Australia at Wembley on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Barring a dramatic loss of form, he is among the players expected to form part of Gareth Southgate\u2019s squad who travel to Germany for Euro 2024 next summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, a clutch of England\u2019s more inexperienced players will be hoping for an opportunity to impress against the Aussies, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Levi Colwill, Ollie Watkins and Conor Gallagher desperate to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We need to give people opportunities \u2014 we have six matches before we name a squad for a European Championship,\u2019 said Southgate. \u2018So if people are going to have the chance to force their way into that squad, we need to play them. It is an important night for a lot of players, they will recognise that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is a reality with England that you have to take your chances when they come.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a former player, you knew the moments when you felt, \u201cOK, I\u2019ve got to deliver tonight\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our job is to try to alleviate pressure from the team but you cannot hide from the fact that you have to deliver with England so we have got to be good at coping with pressure.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/22\/76493751-12625217-image-a-58_1697144824973.jpg\" height=\"444\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Man City star is in contention to start for the Three Lions against Australia at Wembley\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/22\/76493787-12625217-image-a-59_1697144878107.jpg\" height=\"429\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England boss Gareth Southgate is considering resting captain Harry Kane on Friday night<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/12\/22\/76493843-12625217-image-a-60_1697144965316.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea defender Levi Colwill is expected to make his debut during the international break<\/p>\n<p>Kalvin Phillips is another who will be hoping for game time after warming the City bench.

He\u2019s competing with Rodri, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva in a deeper midfield role. He\u2019s up against some of the best midfield players in world football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the way we want to play, he can be hugely important for us.
