Jack Grealish has faced challenges in the current season, with his performance falling short of expectations. His teammate expressed confidence in Grealish’s ability to bounce back to his previous level, citing Jeremy Doku’s recent progress as an example. However, despite this support, Grealish’s form has not been strong enough to secure a spot in the England squad for the Euros.

Manager Gareth Southgate attributed this decision to the outstanding performances of other players in recent months. Southgate acknowledged that Grealish and another player, Maddison, would have brought something different to the team and stressed that the selection process involved careful consideration and discussions among the coaching staff. Despite the difficulty of the decision, Southgate emphasized the players’ positive qualities and their respectful reaction to the news.

Although Grealish has not publicly responded to being dropped from the squad, Southgate stated that all the affected players had handled the news with respect. The manager also revealed that the decision-making process aimed to be fair and backed by strong reasoning.
