The incident, which occurred just 30 minutes ago, has left fans stunned and worried as details continue to emerge.
According to early reports, Grealish was driving back from the training ground when his car collided with another vehicle at a busy junction.

Emergency services arrived within minutes, pulling Grealish from the wreckage and rushing him to a nearby hospital. His condition remains uncertain at the time of writing, but sources indicate that medical staff are working tirelessly to stabilize him.
Erling Haaland, who has formed a close bond with Grealish since joining City, is said to be “in deep shock” after learning of the accident. The two players are often seen joking around during training and celebrating goals together, their chemistry on and off the pitch becoming a defining feature of Manchester City’s recent success. Teammates revealed that Haaland immediately left the training ground after hearing the news, rushing to be by Grealish’s side at the hospital.
Fans have also been quick to respond, gathering outside the hospital and posting messages of support across social media. “Stay strong, Jack,” one fan tweeted. “Manchester City stands with you.” Within minutes, hashtags dedicated to Grealish began trending worldwide, reflecting the global outpouring of love and concern.
The Manchester City board has issued a short but heartfelt statement: “Our thoughts are with Jack Grealish, his family, and his teammates during this extremely difficult time. The club is providing full support to Jack and his loved ones.” Training sessions scheduled for tomorrow have reportedly been canceled as the squad struggles to come to terms with the shocking news.
For many fans, this incident is particularly heartbreaking given the joy Grealish has brought to the pitch. Known for his flair, determination, and charisma, he has become a fan favorite not only in Manchester but also across England. His bond with Haaland has been described as “brotherly,” with the Norwegian striker once calling him “the soul of the team.”
The accident is a stark reminder of how quickly life can change. Just earlier today, Grealish was laughing with teammates on the training ground, preparing for City’s upcoming fixtures. Now, he lies in a hospital bed, fighting to recover, while fans and teammates hold their breath.
At this moment, all of Manchester City and the wider football community are united in hope. Hope that Jack Grealish will recover, hope that Erling Haaland and the rest of the squad find strength, and hope that this tragedy will one day turn into a story of resilience and comeback.
