Jack Grealish will have a special plan to ensure that he’s at his best for the final months of the season, Pep Guardiola says.

The City winger was back on the bench for the 2-0 victory over Newcastle in the FA Cup sixth round on Saturday.

After a season with a number of frustrating injury setbacks, Grealish will be desperate to play his part in the remaining weeks of the campaign.

Following the international break, City have a huge Premier League clash with Arsenal as we chase a record fourth title while we have a Champions League tie with Real Madrid and a Wembley FA Cup encounter with Chelsea in April.

Guardiola says it’s important to have as many of his squad available as possible with the focus on getting Grealish ready for the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium on 31 March.

“He has 10 days to train, we have a plan for him and he will be ready,” the City boss said.

“I said to the team every three days we have a game with finals in the Premier League, Champions League and everyone is going to help us. No player can sustain every three days.

“After Arsenal, [Aston] Villa then [Crystal Palace at] Selhurst Park then Madrid.

“Everyone will be needed to handle it. As much as we get players fit we have more chance of success.

“We take it game-by-game. I don’t think much longer than that.”
