Carsley hopeful Grealish will recover in time for England games

England interim manager Lee Carsley expects Manchester City forward Jack Grealish to be available for the upcoming Nations League games against Greece and Republic of Ireland.

Grealish has not played for City since 20 October because of a groin injury.

"We are fully in contact with the medical staff and we expect Jack to be fit," said Carsley. "He's trained in the last couple of days so he'll come in, we'll assess him and make sure he's ready to play.

"I think he's an important player not just for this camp but for the future. He's a player who is great to coach and he's an infectious character throughout the changing room, on and off the pitch.

"You can see he enjoys playing for England so he's a player we wanted to give as long as we could."
