He’s not there!
After months and months of “Will he? Won’t he?” talk, it was expected this morning that Jack Grealish would finally been called up to the Irish senior side by Martin O’Neill for next month’s friendly with England.
Grealish has thrived for Aston Villa since the arrival of Tim Sherwood, and his performance in the FA Cup semi final against Liverpool last month sparked a huge debate about whether he would, or indeed should, declare for Ireland or England.
However, that debate is set to rumble on and on, after Martin O’Neill announced his 33 man squad for the games against England and Scotland.
There are two new faces in the squad, Aberdeen striker Adam Rooney is included, as well as Alan Judge of Brentford.
The squad will be reduced on June 1, prior to the friendly with Egland on June 7.
2/4 Squad in full: Forde, Given, Westwood, Randolph, R. Keogh, Wilson, Coleman, Christie, O’Shea, Pearce, McShane, McCarthy #COYBIG
