Grealish is '100 per cent fit' for Euro 2020, insists Aston Villa boss Smith

The man who coaches the midfielder at club level has promised that he is in top physical condition ahead of this summer's tournament

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has insisted that Jack Grealish is "100 per cent fit" for Euro 2020 following Gareth Southgate's "overload" warning regarding his recent injury woes.

Grealish was enjoying another superb campaign at Villa before suffering a serious shin injury in February which forced him to spend the next two and a half months on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old was able to recover in time for the club's final four Premier League games, and has been named in Southgate's 33-man provisional squad for this summer's European Championships, but the England boss has expressed concern over the midfielder's durability.
