Jack Grealish faces a race against time to prove his fitness for England's World Cup qualifiers this month after he was ruled out of Aston Villa's clash with Newcastle on Friday.
Villa boss Dean Smith confirmed Grealish, who has missed the last four games with shin trouble, had not recovered in time for the trip to St James' Park – and Gareth Southgate names his squad on March 17.
Villa have only one Premier League fixture, against Tottenham on March 21, before England's World Cup qualifier against San Marino on March 25.
