England manager Gareth Southgate admits he feels for Jack Grealish over his involvement in the Euro 2020 semi-finals.

The Aston Villa star was taken him off just 35 minutes after he was introduced as a substitute during the win over Denmark.

Explaining the Grealish substitution, Southgate said: "He's fine – he understood, he was terrific when he came on he gave us momentum.

"But we know when they've gone behind in games they've thrown four men up front so we needed to get an extra defender on just to make sure we were more solid and I wanted to keep Raheem's [Sterling] speed on so it meant taking one of the two boys off who had just come on."

Southgate added: "I feel for Jack Grealish you can see its a tournament that he really wants to be a part of, every time he gets going it doesn't quite happen for him. To be taken off like that is of course, you subbed a sub its not nice.

"But it is about the squad and being a part of it. Sunday Jack might come on and make a massive difference, he might set up the winning goal."
