Roy Hodgson believes the time is now right for Jack Grealish to make a decision on his international future.

The 19-year-old Aston Villa midfielder is eligible to represent both England and the Republic of Ireland but has not yet committed to either cause.

Greasily has played for Ireland at U17, U18 and U21 level but is not yet capped at senior level meaning he can still jump ship and play for England - the country of his birth and upbringing.

England boss Hodgson says the youngster now needs to make a call: "I'm not 100 per cent certain of what he is waiting for.

"I would like him to come out and say, 'I've thought about it, I've got the two possibilities, and I'm opting for England', and then he will be available for selection.

"But he has been injured, to be fair, so he wouldn't have been selectable for any team during these September fixtures.

"Now, maybe before the October fixtures, he might make that decision."

Hodgson added: "We think he could have a very good international career and we would be more than happy if he chose that career to be for England.

"I made it clear to him, 'It's got to be your decision, it's got to be something you really want to do and that feels right'."
