Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is confident Jack Grealish will return to form next season.

Grealish was a key member of the treble-winning side in 2022-23, but has registered only three goals and three assists in 36 matches this season and featured for only 10 minutes during City's five matches in May.

"He will be back," Guardiola said. "He’s struggled this season and Jeremy [Doku] has made an incredible step forward as everyone has seen in the last games. But Jack will be back at the level of last season, I'm pretty sure."

Elsewhere in the squad, Guardiola is uncertain on the future of other City players.

"I know some players have to take a decision on whether they stay with us and some players might come," he said. "My sporting director says everything is fine for next year but right now, I don’t know what might happen."
