Man City boss Guardiola: I'm now pleased with Jack; he's back!

Manchester City boss Pep Guarduiola insists he's happy with Jack Grealish.

The manager was seen in an animated conversation with the midfielder at the end of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

Guardiola said: “I had the feeling that he [Grealish] is back. In mood, in training, in many things, desire.

“Now I'm pleased. The only thing I ask of the players is be ready, be yourself and after it doesn't matter if you perform the highest level or less.

“Jack is commitment and we need everyone. The injuries that we have and the tight schedule of many games we need everyone.

“So the contribution of, for example, Jeremy, Jack, Rico when they come in was really, really important in the game against Arsenal.

“They make a lot of things. Jeremy a lot of things. And Jack also was aggressive. And Rico, except the first one or two minutes because it's not easy to come in immediately, he took the game in his hands and played really, really good.

Aston Villa and after Crystal Palace, Madrid, Luton, Madrid and all the games ahead of it, its what's going to happen."
