Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has thrown his weight behind Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish in his battle to make the England squad for this summer's European Championship.
The playmaker returned from a shin injury as a substitute in Thursday's goalless draw with Everton and again looks likely to be restricted to a cameo role at Selhurst Park on Sunday while he builds up fitness.
Grealish has missed three months of football and it leaves England national team boss Gareth Southgate with a decision to make over whether to pick the attacker with the tournament due to start in a month's time.
