Manchester City officially announced the list of players going to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup, and the most eye-catching absence was England winger Jack Gallish. The star, who once joined the sky-high transfer fee of 100 million pounds, was ultimately unable to enter Guardiola's roster, which also means that he will miss this year's Club World Cup.

The four new players who just joined - Cherki, Reindez, Ait Nuri and Bettinelli - were all on the list, but Gallish was completely defeated. This decision further shows that Gallish, 29, is no longer regarded as a core player at Manchester City.

He only started seven times in the Premier League last season and failed to get a chance to play in the FA Cup final. In that game, when the team needed to change the situation, Guardiola chose to send Argentine teenager Echeveri, and Gallish could only sit on the bench and could not do anything.

Now, he is excluded from the Club World Cup roster, which is almost equivalent to being officially "marginalized". Gallish originally hoped to represent England in the 2026 World Cup under the leadership of Tuchel, but at present, if he continues to lack opportunities to play at Manchester City, this goal may be difficult to achieve.

According to British media reports, teams including several Premier League clubs have expressed interest in Gallish. Manchester City is also willing to let the players find new development opportunities, which is one of the reasons why they choose not to let them participate in the Club World Cup with them.

In addition, in this 27-man roster, Kovacic was absent due to injury, McCarty was close to leaving the team and chose to participate in the European Youth Championship, and De Bruyne and Carson have also left the team. It is worth mentioning that Rodri is also on the roster and is expected to get more game time in the United States. He had just returned from a serious knee injury and returned to the field.

This may be a turning point for Gallish. His career is at a crossroads. Whether to stay in the Premier League to find new opportunities or go to other leagues, there will be an answer soon.
