Not playing for England isn't deep - Grealish

 Referee Michael Salisbury had only just blown the full-time whistle to confirm Everton's dramatic late win over Crystal Palace when the Toffees updated the bio on their X account.

Underneath the club's famous badge appeared three words: Grealish for England.

It is almost a year since Jack Grealish last wore a Three Lions shirt in a 3-1 Nations League win over Finland in Helsinki under interim manager Lee Carsley.

There are 249 days before the start of the World Cup. Will Grealish be on board the England plane?

"You know what? I don't think it's as deep as everyone says," he told BBC Radio 5 Live after the Palace game.

"At the end of the day, you want to play for the national team but people are doing well in my position. I'm doing well also, but the people picked last month did really well in the two games so that's fine with me.

"That's the manager's decision and I fully respect that."

Grealish added: "I'm focused on playing for Everton because that's who put their trust in me and believed in me, so I'm really enjoying it here."

But former England striker Wayne Rooney told BBC Sport that Grealish's form for Everton will be giving Tuchel a "headache".

"All Jack can do is keep doing what he is doing, obviously getting a goal today," said Rooney, who scored 53 goals in 120 appearances for England.

"I'm sure if he keeps doing that he will be there or thereabouts come the summer.

"If Jack plays his talent will show, so I'm sure he'll be giving the England manager a headache."
