Cardiff City played host to AFC Wrexham in the Championship on Monday evening, with Jack Grealish making an unexpected appearance in the Welsh capital for the fixture
Jack Grealish was spotted supporting close friend Callum Robinson during Cardiff City’s Championship clash with AFC Wrexham on Monday evening.
Brian Barry-Murphy’s Bluebirds played host to Phil Parkinson’s Red Dragons in the Welsh capital in their first match of the new season.
And Sky Sports commentators Gary Weaver and Don Goodman were quick to explain the reason behind Grealish being in the stands, before quickly joking about the Manchester City star’s future as the summer transfer window heats up.
Weaver said: “Well, I know that Wrexham have got money. Jack Grealish, in attendance here this evening, was playing in the Community Shield yesterday.
“And his big pal, and very close friend, is Callum Robinson from their days together at Aston Villa.
“So, maybe he’s given him a ticket to stay on for an extra night in Cardiff – which is a cracking city – to watch Cardiff City against Wrexham, this huge occasion tonight.”
Goodman then quipped: “Get yourself in trouble starting rumours like that, you,” before Weaver coolly replied: “Always do.”
