Jack Grealish, currently recovering from a stress fracture in his foot, was observed enjoying drinks at a Manchester beer garden on Saturday afternoon. The Manchester City player was pictured at Dukes 92 restaurant, engaging in what appeared to be a relaxed off-season outing with a group of female friends. Grealish was seen with a bottle of champagne and later a bottle of vodka.

Grealish, who made 22 appearances on loan at Everton last season, has not played for England in nearly two years. Despite his absence from the current squad, he has reportedly been following England's World Cup campaign from afar. The team was preparing for a semi-final match against Argentina, having previously secured their place with a 2-1 victory over Norway.
His season was cut short in January due to a stress fracture requiring surgery, an injury that ended his hopes of participating in the World Cup. Grealish commented in April on the difficulty of being injured as a footballer, expressing how much he missed the game and thanking Everton for their support during his recovery.
Earlier in the summer, Grealish and his girlfriend Sasha Attwood, along with their daughter, took a holiday to Barbados, staying at the Sandy Lane Hotel.

England's World Cup semi-final fixture against Argentina was scheduled to be the first time the two nations had faced each other in approximately 21 years. The match was also notable as Lionel Messi's first career encounter with the English national team.
