Roy Hodgson calls for Jack Grealish decision on international future

England boss Roy Hodgson has called on Aston Villa youngster Jack Grealish to make a decision regarding his international future.

The highly-rated playmaker has the option to either represent the Three Lions or opt to play for the Republic of Ireland, and Hodgson has stated that he would like the 19-year-old to come to a conclusion before England's next set of fixtures in October.

"I'm not 100% certain of what he is waiting for," said Hodgson, according to BT Sport.

"I would like him to come out and say, 'I've thought about it, I've got the two possibilities and I'm opting for England' and then he will be available for selection. But he has been injured, to be fair, so he wouldn't have been selectable for any team during these September fixtures.

"Now maybe before the October fixtures he might make that decision."

Grealish has made 18 senior appearances for the Villans.
