Jack Grealish slumps over a bar table as he downs champagne and splashes out on vodka on a boozy day out with female friends – while his old England team-mates prepare for historic World Cup semi-final

Jack Grealish was spotted drinking champagne with female friends in a sunny Manchester beer garden hours before England took on Norway.

The 30-year-old actor, who is recovering from a stress fracture in his foot, was spotted enjoying an off-season break at the city’s upscale Dukes 92 restaurant on Saturday afternoon.

Clad in all white, Grealish didn’t seem to mind as he sipped a £75 bottle of champagne as he basked in the sunlight streaming into the crowded bar.

The Manchester City star then ordered a bottle of Gray Goose vodka and was seen shooting it to the amusement of the women sitting next to him.

But the drinks later appeared to have negative effects, as the footballer appeared to be on the verge of falling asleep as he lay slumped in his chair.

Grealish, who made 22 appearances on loan at Everton last season, has not featured for England in almost two years since his surprise recall under Lee Carsley in October 2024.

Grealish was joined by a large group of female friends at the bar, where a bottle of champagne costs around £75.

But it looks like the booze took its toll as the Man City star appeared on the verge of falling asleep in his sofa

The £100million winger nevertheless supports the Three Lions in their bid to end 60 years of suffering and regularly posts photos of their matches across the pond on TV from his living room.

Grealish, who transferred to Merseyside with the aim of reviving his career, made an excellent start with the Toffees, scoring two goals and providing six assists in the first months of the season.

However, in January the attacker suffered a stress fracture that required surgery during a match against his former club Aston Villa.

The injury marked the end of Grealish’s season and therefore destroyed his World Cup hopes; He admitted it was “difficult” to overcome.

‘It’s always difficult to get injured as a football player,’ he said in April. ‘I came to the Merseyside derby match and it made me a little emotional because it’s something I miss doing so much.

I can’t thank Everton enough for being there for me since my injury, they have been amazing. From the staff to the players to the coach.’

Grealish earned himself cult hero status at Hill Dickinson but his future is now uncertain ahead of next season.

The Birmingham-born midfielder is, however, enjoying the down time to get back to full fitness. Earlier this summer, he and girlfriend Sasha Attwood jetted off to Barbados for a luxury family vacation with their 19-month-old daughter, Mila.

Grealish also appeared to slump forward after he was seen shooting from a bottle of Gray Goose.

But the former Aston Villa star looked like good company as he laughed at his pals’ jokes

Grealish has not played for England for almost two years but has been supporting the Three Lions from afar this summer.

The family, who are understood to live in the footballer-friendly area of ​​Cheshire, stayed at the luxury five-star Sandy Lane Hotel during their week-long stay in the Caribbean.

The couple shared a series of photos from their trip; in one of them, Grealish and Attwood were all smiles with Mila during a wholesome family outing.

The father-of-one will no doubt be watching from afar as England take on Argentina tomorrow for a place in the most coveted match of all: the World Cup final.

Thomas Tuchel’s men have had a successful tournament so far and are yet to be beaten.

They booked their place in Wednesday’s World Cup semi-final with a 2-1 win over Erling Haaland’s Norway in the sweltering heat of Miami.

Jude Bellingham was the star of the Three Lions that day, scoring twice (the second in extra time) to ensure his country’s victory.

However, the Real Madrid star was also at the center of controversy when, at the final whistle of the match, he was asked to respond to the statements his manager had made minutes before.

The German described his players as ‘lucky’ after the win and praised them for Haaland, Martin Odegaard and Co. He argued that it was only the team mentality that made him stand out against him.

‘Maybe he doesn’t know what it’s like to play against Erling Haaland, (Martin) Odegaard, (Antonio) Nusa, (Alexander) Sörloth in such conditions. It is not an easy team to play against.

Grealish and girlfriend Sasha Attwood enjoyed a trip to Barbados with their 19-month-old daughter Mila earlier this summer.

The Three Lions play against Argentina in the quarter-finals tomorrow, but 39-cap Grealish will not be with them

‘I think we are trying to create a positive environment and we have to continue that going into the last four. I couldn’t speak highly enough about the kids. ‘You can’t win every game by throwing the ball and making thousands of passes, sometimes you have to win dirty and we did that again tonight.’

The match against Argentina will be the first time the two countries have faced each other in nearly 21 years and the first time Lionel Messi will face England in his career.
