Jack Grealish will cut his holiday short to report for England training as the Man City star battles for his place in Gareth Southgate’s final Euro 2024 squad
- The Man City star is set to join England’s training camp earlier than expected
- Jack Grealish is competing with a host of attacking stars for a place at Euro 2024
Jack Grealish is set to report early for England duty as he fights for his place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad.
But, Grealish intends to cut his holidays short by reporting earlier than required to England’s current pre-tournament camp in Darlington – a clear intention of his determination to make the plane to Germany.
Man City and Manchester United players are not due to report until the start of next week following their participation in last Saturday’s FA Cup final.
But it is expected that Grealish and his club colleague John Stones – who was used sparingly towards the end of the season – will report ahead of schedule.
Southgate is blessed with options in attacking areas with Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon among those battling for a spot in Southgate’s final party.
Grealish’s experience may count in his favour and his decision to report early is likely to be well received by Southgate.
Earlier this week we reported Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Gordon – who have all been suffering with injury – reported early, too.
The majority of England’s provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024 reported to the luxurious Rockliffe Hall in Darlington Hall on Wednesday.
England typically base themselves at the national training base St George’s Park but ahead of their first pre-tournament friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James’ Park next week have chosen a new setting.
Three Lions boss Southgate will get a chance to review his team in the upcoming matches before deciding on which seven players to cut.
England will take on Iceland at Wembley in their final pre-Euros friendly on June 7 before jetting off to their tournament training base in Germany.
