Gareth Southgate has outlined the enormous task Jack Grealish faces to play for England and warned he is at the back of a queue that now includes Mason Greenwood.
The Aston Villa midfielder has long been mentioned as a candidate for Southgate's squad but the head coach again left him out of his plans for next month's fixtures with Iceland and Denmark, and it is difficult to see how Grealish will change his situation.
Southgate insisted his decision had nothing to do with the 24-year-old flouting lockdown rules earlier in the year, stressing that he had made his conclusion purely around football.
