Dean Smith insists there is 'no doubt' Jack Grealish will be fit for Euro 2020 as England and Aston Villa playmaker waits for scan next week to determine return date for shin injury

Jack Grealish will have a scan on his shin injury in the coming days with Aston Villa boss Dean Smith insisting his captain will be fit for Euro 2020.

The playmaker has missed Villa’s last nine matches due to the problem and there is no clear date for his comeback, though the club are hopeful he will return for the final few games of the campaign.

Grealish was seen in conversation with England manager Gareth Southgate at half-time during Villa’s home defeat by Manchester City on Wednesday and appears certain to be named in the final 23 for the tournament, fitness permitting.
