Hodgson: 'No guarantees' for Grealish

Roy Hodgson has warned Jack Grealish he cannot guarantee him a place in his squad despite the midfielder's decision to represent England over the Republic of Ireland.

The Solihull-born 20-year-old turned out for Ireland's Under-17s as hequalified through his grandparents but his form for Aston Villa has seen himtouted as a future England international.

Grealish turned down a senior call-up with Ireland for their friendly withEngland in June and pledged his allegiance to the Three Lions in a statement earlier this week.
