Tim Sherwood has no plans to get involved in Jack Grealish's national team decision.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder is eligible to represent both England and the Republic of Ireland, with respective national team bosses Roy Hodgson and Martin O'Neill jockeying for position.

Aston Villa boss Sherwood has no doubt Grealish has the talent to become a quality international but is not interested in the decision making process.

"I've spoken to Roy Hodgson, Martin O'Neill, Jack and his father. I have said it is not my decision to make," he said.

"It is up to those three parties to fight it out - leave me out of it. He hasn't told me. I can't tell him because in his heart of hearts he has to decide whether he is English or Irish.

"I think both countries are doing a good job with both managers having a hard enough job trying to win games - let alone trying to convince players to join them. It is up to Jack to put everyone out of their misery."
