It is time to stop indulging the idea that Jack Grealish should be sweating on his place in the England squad for this summer’s European Championship. If there were a plane to board, Grealish should be one of the first players to walk up the steps. The question is not whether he should be in the squad but whether he should be in the team for England’s opening game against Croatia.
More pertinently, there is no evidence Gareth Southgate is considering omitting him from his party when it is announced some time towards the end of next month.
