Overview
- Jack Grealish, a Manchester City winger on loan at Everton, was photographed asleep at Manchester’s Stories rooftop bar on Saturday, April 26, with the images sold to The Sun and posted widely online.
- On Tuesday talkSPORT, former teammate Gabby Agbonlahor defended him and criticized people who took and shared the pictures, adding Grealish told him he hopes to resume training in July.
- Ally McCoist said camera phones have stripped players of privacy and called the photos a poor look but still an invasion of a private moment.
- On Wednesday, former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness said the incident was not a good look and argued Grealish has a record of off‑field lapses from their Aston Villa days.
- He is out for the season after February foot surgery, and no club sanctions or changes to his rehab timeline have been reported as coverage notes Everton’s interest in a permanent deal.
