Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish has agreed to return to pre-season training alone as he tries to force an exit from the club.
The 29-year-old will report for training a week early while other City stars continue to enjoy the rest of their holidays.
Pep Guardiola's squad are on a well deserved summer break following a long season and their Club World Cup campaign, which saw them dumped out in the round-of-16 by Saudi side Al-Hilal.
But Grealish was brutally axed from the 27-man tournament squad and has not been afforded the same break.
