Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish still ineligible for England

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish is still unqualified from being selected for England.

The Daily Mail says almost two months after pledging his allegiance to England, Grealish is still not eligible to represent the country of his birth, FIFA has confirmed.

A FIFA spokesperson said: "We can confirm having been contacted by the Football Association with a request for change of association of the player Jack Grealish.

"The matter is pending and being investigated by our services and as a result, we are not in a position to comment on it any further nor to give an estimation as to the relevant time line."

No explanation has been given for the delay, but the FA says there is no problem with the matter.
