KenjiOgiwara Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm not surprised. These time to injuries don't have a set recovery time. No point rushing a player back either, especially when he wants and needs to play a summer tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think? I think it's pretty clear he's one of the best English midfielders, and I don't think being out a brief while will stop that from showing itself in a tournament. In fact it might lead to him being more rested and performing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont have played any games so will have no match fitness, his last Villa game was 13th February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Could be a disappointing end to the season for Grealish. 1000% if fit should be in the England squad but it’s looking less and less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I don’t think he should go Euros if he doesn’t play for the rest of the season. There’s too much competition in his position. Would be very unfair on whoever missed out if that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yeah if he doesn't play again this season it would be hard to argue if he misses the cut, and is left out of the squad for the Euros. I would say he will need to play the last 3-4 games at the very least, and play well to even stand a chance of making the squad this summer. The injury has come at the worst possibe time for Our challenge for the CL/Europa spots, and for Jack's Euro Championship chance unfortunately.

MrBlack Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It's a bit like the Rooney and Beckham metatarsal situation. Best player, heals just in time for the tournament, with no match fitness, but has to be taken anyway. Grealiah doesn't have the same volume of performances for England Ithat those two already had, but its not miles away. Doesn't usually end well, but if he's "fit" I'd take him. He'll develop the match fitness from the bench, and if we get far enough to play decent opposition, he'll be ready by then. That assumes he is given the all clear for his injury and doesn't hide his symptoms (which I suspect he would). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would for a number of players, but remember his hand was basically forced to call him up in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he missing football because he's starring in the Midland's version of Ru Paul's Drag Race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think it would know the amount of times I've typed Grealish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, better not at all, but if it had to happen now is a decent time. Has shown us what we need to remain stable in this league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other benefits it makes him less desirable to other clubs. Overall, I'd prefer it hadn't happened at all, but I like to follow the advice of Monty Python.
