Soccer-Villa's Grealish still to decide on Ireland or England

By Padraic Halpin

DUBLIN, May 12 (Reuters) - Aston Villa teenager Jack Grealish has yet to decide whether to represent Ireland or England, according to Irish manager Martin O'Neill.

Grealish, who has burst on to the scene this season and has played a key role in Villa's run to the FA Cup final, was born in England but has played at under-age level for Ireland, the country he qualifies for through his grandparents.

O'Neill said on Tuesday that he had consulted the player and his father about including the 19-year-old midfielder in his squad for next month's friendly at home to England and Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland.
