JACK Grealish appeared to get a helping hand while walking through a luxury hotel, as he let his hair down on a well-earned sunshine break.
The Man City legend, sensationally axed from England’s Euros squad last week, was ushered through a Dubai concourse towards a beach bar in front of shocked guests.

He looked a little unsteady on his feet at one point, wearing white socks and slip-ons, a yellow T-shirt and board shorts.
As a friend from his entourage took the Manchester City ace’s arm to help him along, a security guard asked onlookers not to take pictures.
One witness at Dubai’s 5-star Jumeirah Beach Hotel told The Sun: “It was shocking to see Jack looking so refreshed at 6.30pm, but after everything he’s been through he deserved a kick-back.
“He and his team parked up outside the hotel entrance in a black wagon then breezed through the foyer towards the venue’s beach bar.

“It looked like the group had been on a good session already. He’s clearly taking time to work through his Euros rejection.
“At least he had his friends around him. The episode did nothing to dampen his ‘party boy’ reputation, but it was very hard not to feel sorry for him.”
A friend placed an arm around the player’s waist, and ushered him along.
Once they had exited the hotel building, Jack and his friends jumped on a buggy which whisked them towards the resort’s beach bar.

Jack could be seen slumped behind the driver, seemingly lost in thought.
There was no sign of the multi-millionaire’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood in his tight-knit group, which appeared to include four women dressed in sexy leisure wear.
The onlooker said: “It looked like the rejection by Gareth Southgate had hit hard.”

What Southgate said about axed England stars
WHAT Gareth Southgate said about his axed England stars after confirming his 26-man England squad for Euro 2024.
Harry Maguire
“The decision on Harry [Maguire] is totally about his physical condition and his recovery from the injury. There is no other reason as he is one of our strongest centre-backs.
“Harry has made some progress, but it’s been complicated and we wouldn’t have had him in the group stages. There were too many hurdles to get through without being clear where we might get to.
“Knowing we haven’t got a clean bill of health across the rest of the backline, we need players who are fit and ready to go from the start.
“It was a really difficult call, you know how I feel about Harry, what he’s done for England and for me as a manager. “
Jack Grealish
“I have just delivered a really difficult conversation to a lad who is devastated.
“I think the world of him as a kid.“It certainly doesn’t get any easier.
“You put yourself in the shoes of a player, a parent. You understand that for these players this is a devastating moment.
“We knew we had a couple of really difficult days coming up.”
James Maddison
“Madders [Maddison] and Jack [Grealish] would have provided us with something different as well and they’ve been tough calls.
“They’re calls we’ve gone over and over and over as a group of staff to try to be fair and to try to use the right rationale.
“We back our decisions but we recognise we could have gone a different route. The boys are big characters, fabulous team-mates and great boys to work with.
“It’s sad to have to deliver that news to them.”
Jarrad Branthwaite
“It’s a bit early for Jarrad [Branthwaite]. He has had a fabulous season, it was good to get him on the pitch the other night.
“But of course, in an ideal world, you’d like that balance of left-footers. For him to be in ahead of the others, I don’t think it would have been the right call at this stage.”
Jarell Quansah
“Jarell Quansah has stayed with us. He’s not had the experience of an England international at Wembley. It’ll be great for him to be us for the game.
“Hopefully we’re not needing to call anyone else in.”
Reports said the former Aston Villa man was left “stunned and upset” following his cull from England’s final Euro 2024 squad.
Jack, 28, was one of seven players who failed to make the cut as Southgate trimmed his 33-man squad down to 26.
Fans have taken to his silky skills on the pitch and loveable ‘party boy’ lifestyle off of it.
Last month he led the wild celebrations as City secured a historic fourth Prem title.
The star was seen sporting a £2,000 Gucci suit – a brand for which he is an ambassador – and posted a video of him singing Natasha Bedingfield’s Unwritten as the party at a Greek restaurant went on until 5am.
He has become synonymous with riotous end-of-season parties during well-earned breaks in Ibiza and sun-kissed resorts.
The Manchester City star joined James Maddison, Harry Maguire, Curtis Jones, Jarrel Quansah, Jarrad Branthwaite and James Trafford in being sent home early from England duty last week.
Jack believed he had done enough to make the cut after an encouraging cameo off the bench last Monday against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It was reported that Jack handled his exit “professionally” and passed on his best wishes to the players and staff ahead of the tournament.
Fans questioned the decision to leave him out of the squad for Germany, especially after going down 1-0 to minnows Iceland in the final warm-up match at Wembley Stadium.
