Jack Grealish was called up to England for the first time to prepare for two matches against Iceland and Denmark in the UEFA Nations League.
There have been calls for coach Gareth Southgate to choose Aston Villa’s attacking midfielder and so far it has come true. Part of the reason is also that Man United’s Marcus Rashford was suddenly injured.
Grealish was promoted to England
When this September roster of the England team was announced, many people were surprised when Jack Grealish was not named. The 2019-20 season saw the midfielder perform with excellence, always the inspiration of Aston Villa.

Southgate explained his decision: “Grealish is a talent, there’s no question about it. I know he plays well at Villa, but it’s hard to get a place in England. He can play number 10, but we’re not using it. “
But after MU’s Marcus Rashford and Tottenham’s Harry Winks were injured, Southgate had to change his mind. In the final 2019-20 season, Grealish scored 8 goals and 6 assists to help Aston Villa stay in the Premier League.
