Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is in line for a Euros call with England.

The Daily Mail says Grealish is being lined up for a key role at the European Championship by Gareth Southgate despite concern among the public that the Aston Villa player might miss out on the squad.

Last November's internationals are believed to have been Grealish's key audition, when he started and thrived in all three games against the Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland.

The fact that he started against Belgium away from home, the most difficult test England have had this season, is seen as significant in that it demonstrates Southgate will trust him to start games against top opposition.

He has since gone on to even better form at Villa and, though he missed this squad because of a shin injury, there is no danger that Grealish would miss out on the final 23 for the Euros, assuming he is fit. Grealish is expected to start today against Fulham.
