Jose Mourinho calls for Jack Grealish to START England's Euro 2020 semi-final with Denmark but admits Aston Villa captain 'doesn't look like he's an option' for Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate after his peripheral role in the tournament so far

Jose Mourinho has called for England boss Gareth Southgate to start Jack Grealish in tonight's mammoth Euro 2020 semi-final with Denmark.

The Aston Villa midfielder has been a huge favourite among Three Lions fans this summer, leading to widespread calls for Grealish to be given more game time by Southgate.

The 25-year-old has largely been used as an impact player so far. He came off the bench and had a starring role in the last-16 victory over Germany, crossing for Harry Kane's goal, and also played 27 minutes in the 0-0 draw with Scotland.
