Manchester City‘s Champions League heroes have been pictured together at St. George’s Park after linking up with the England squad ahead of their Euro qualifiers. 

Phil Foden, John StonesKalvin Phillips, Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish were seen posing for a photo at the England training base on Wednesday morning. 

The five players – who were dressed head-to-toe in England kit – appeared to be in good spirits after securing the treble with Pep Guardiola’s side. 

Grealish was even smiling despite admitting to being in a ‘world of pain’ after celebrating Manchester City’s achievements. 

However, the Treble-winning stars will be eased into training and rested for England’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Malta after the Champions League final.

England’s camp at St. George’s Park put an end to Grealish’s four-day celebrations after helping City win the treble by beat Inter Milan in Champions League.

Grealish was responsible for kicking off festivities in Istanbul by leading the chants in the dressing room after their 1-0 win over the Serie A side. 

The England international then left the stadium with a Heineken in hand, along with a speaker blaring out Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Everywhere’.

The 27-year-old, who stayed out until sunrise for two successive nights, emerged on Sunday morning still wearing his City kit, raising questions over whether he slept. 

The party continued on the plane back, with Grealish even making use of the plane’s intercom, much to his teammates’ amusement.

Grealish was even seen stumbling off the plane and along the tarmac as he made his way into the terminal building ahead of City’s open top bur tour through Manchester. 

Grealish was front-and-centre once again for City’s victory parade. He was seen downing drinks, signing and waving to the crowd.  

As a result, Southgate has decided to rest the City quintet for the Euro 2024 qualifier in Malta and focus on preparing them for Monday’s game against North Macedonia. 

However, the City stars are expected to travel with the rest of the squad to Malta for Friday’s clash, but are not expected to start or even make the bench.
