His lack of game-time for the Premier League champions is believed to be the main reason he missed out.
But Grealish - who is a notorious party-lover - has made plans to enjoy the unexpected time off.
He has jetted to Dubai where his brother Kevan and a group of pals have booked a massive apartment.
Kevan shared pictures on social media of the location - which is where Grealish will cheer on England from.

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."
The star was seen sporting a £2,000 outfit and posted a video of himself singing Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten as the party at a Greek restaurant went on until 5am.
Players including Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne were seen looking worse for wear as they stumbled out with minders following the celebratory meal at Fenix in Manchester.
It followed a 3-1 win over West Ham United to complete City's sixth league success in seven seasons under their manager Pep Guardiola.
Grealish wore a striking Gucci suit - a brand for which he is an ambassador - to a celebratory dinner.
He later posted a clip on his Instagram Stories of him singing the lyric 'the rest is still unwritten', while holding a drink and showing off his winner's medal.
