Please God, let Gareth Southgate 's list of horrible phone calls not include Jack Grealish. With Grealish absent from Southgate's most recent international squad because of injury, there is a danger that the England manager's attention may have shifted elsewhere. Southgate had to be dragged kicking and screaming to include Grealish in the first place back last September, remember. But if the Poland victory showed anything – apart from that some prayer space also needs to be reserved ahead of the Euros for John Stones good days – it was that England need Grealish. Up until then, with England chasing a goal which stubbornly refused to come, nothing.
