Ex-Villa star Hendrie can see Grealish declaring for England

Former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie says Jack Grealish could still declare for England.

Grealish has played for the Republic of Ireland at Under-21 level.

Hendrie told talkSPORT: "We want to try to bring as many young English players through as possible and, if we miss the boat with Jack, it is a crying shame.

"I personally think he might jump across and play for England.

"I know he has played at the lower levels for Ireland but I think he would jump across if he was considered to be a key figure for them [England]. And, looking at his talent, he should have every chance."
