Unbelievable day that was for you the Toffees! What a group of lads well done my brothers.”Erling Haaland, a Manchester City teammate of his, gave him a nickname in the comments, simply saying: “The Bagsman”.That goal ended up being the 28th of his Premier League career, starting his aim to chase down his best season tally of eight with Aston Villa back in 2019/20.Grealish’s return to form has been impressive, but it hasn’t brought about a return to the England team just yet.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesJack Grealish on England squad omissionWith the October international break now here, the England squad announcement came with plenty of surprises.That included the omission of Grealish, who was once a regular for the Three Lions.Reflecting on that absence, Grealish told Sky Sports: “First of all, you want to play well for your club because that’s what we do every week, but obviously you want to be in the England squad."Every player wants to play for their country… it is what it is"Jack Grealish on being left out of the England squad 🦁 pic.twitter.com/D6S7SCE7SP— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) October 5, 2025 View Tweet “But I do understand it. I spoke to the manager and I understand there’s a lot of competition, especially in that left wing spot at the moment – Rashy’s [Marcus Rashford] flying, [Eberechi] Eze, Anthony Gordon – everyone’s doing so well.“I can’t really complain, it is what it is, and hopefully I can keep performing and influencing games.”Perhaps, if Grealish can continue impressing, there will be a place for him in the November international break, with the World Cup now on the horizon.
