Gabby Agbonlahor has told Sky Sports News that Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish deserves a public explanation as to why England boss Gareth Southgate has refused to cast him.
The Aston Villa midfielder staged a friendly win over Wales early in this international break, winning a Man of the Match award.
But Southgate left him on the bench throughout last night’s loss to Denmark, despite the Three Lions needing a goal for much of the game.
Grealish was also benched for victory over Belgium before that, following his heroism against Wales.

The point is, Southgate hasn’t offered much explanation and former Aston Villa forward Agbonlahor feels this is particularly “quite shocking.”
He told Sky Sports News: “I don’t get it and there must be a deeper problem with Southgate and Grealish. Whenever reporters ask him the question, he seems to mention someone else’s name, which is quite surprising to me.
“Gareth Southgate has to come out and explain why I feel like everyone was in shock.”
You’d think Southgate has nothing personal against Grealish, because why would he call him to the senior team if that was the case?
The England manager clearly has his reasons and even if some fans – and experts – disagree with them, they must be respected.
