Villa winger Grealish happy to duck international questions

Aston Villa winger Jack Grealish is refusing to let his international future become a distraction.

At the weekend Republic of Ireland and Villa No.2 Roy Keane took a swipe at Grealish's father, Kevin, for holding up matters as the winger is yet to pledge his international allegiance.

But Grealish, who also qualifies for England, told the Birmingham Mail: "I have just focused on my football this season and I don't get stressed about matters because that can affect the way I play."

When talking about signing his new four-year Villa deal, for example, he added: "The main thing for me was leaving my representatives to get on with it."
