Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has no problem being kicked in games.

Grealish handled some roughhouse treatment from Club America during this week's preseason win.

"I don't mind getting kicked. I've watched them back," said Grealish. "There were two definite penalties. I said to the ref, 'If it's not a penalty then surely you have to book me?'. He said there was contact. I said, 'How's it not a penalty then?'

"I get it at a lot of places now," Grealish added. "I like it. I feel like I've just got to embrace it and prove them wrong. Joao Cancelo said to me, “Why do you like it?" and I said I don't know. I feel like I was like that at Aston Villa, it gets me going, so I don't mind it at all."
