Pep Guardiola has insisted Jack Grealish will not be fit for Manchester City’s trip to Brighton on Saturday despite the midfielder receiving an England call-up this week.

Grealish has played only once since starting City’s 3-2 win over Fulham over a month ago, appearing as a substitute in the 2-1 victory at Wolves on October 20.
