WHAT HAPPENED? Grealish was not part of the matchday squad against Fulham on Saturday as the English star was carrying a thigh injury. After the game, Lillo suggested that Grealish could miss England's matches during the international break as he is yet to recover from his injury.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to reporters, Lillo said: "It’s going to be difficult for Jack to make it, but I’m not a doctor and it will be difficult for me to explain."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Gareth Southgate named a 26-member England squad for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifying game against Ukraine and a friendly clash against Scotland. Grealish has been included for now but a final call will be taken by the Three Lions' boss before taking a final call.
