The 19-year-old is eligible to play for Ireland and England. Keane, who is also Grealish's assistant manager at Villa, believes the midfielder's dad is behind the stalling.

"Sometimes it's respect, you don't want to pester people but, unfortunately, a lot would be coming from Jack's dad," Keane said, reports the Birmingham Mail., external "Knowing his dad, we could be waiting a long while."

Samoa called off a boycott of this weekend's test against England only after it was threatened with being expelled from the Rugby World Cup, prop Census Johnston has revealed.

He wouldn't say who was warning the team against the strike action, which the team had planned because of concerns for months over the administration of the Samoa Rugby Union and alleged interference in team selection.

"There's been a lot going on the last couple of weeks," said Johnston. "It's really important we put the country first before ourselves. We've all just decided that we'll front up this week to make sure that we play well."

Rafael Nadal criticises Spain's female Davis Cup captain for feeding a "false and absurd" debate that started when his coach questioned whether a woman could coach in the men's game.

The 14-time Grand Slam winner struck out at both captain Gala Leon and the Spanish tennis federation.

"It seems strange to me, as Davis Cup captain, that instead of seeking union and harmony between players, captains and the federation, she has incited and fed a debate that is totally false and absurd," says Nadal.

While marathon runner Overall is happy with Doha hosting the 2019 World Championships, Labour's Shadow Minister for Sport is not.

Clive Efford MP has urged the IAAF to reconsider their decision - little over three hours since it was announced.

"The IAAF must be aware of the scandal of the treatment of migrant workers in Qatar," he says. "This is an appalling decision that risks bringing the sport into disrepute. I urge the IAAF to reconsider their decision."

Scott Overall, who represented Great Britain in the London 2012 Marathon, has voiced his support for Doha, announced as host city ahead of Barcelona and Eugene for the 2019 World Athletics Championships.

"I've raced in all three cities and Doha will do a fine job," said Overall.

"Eugene doesn't have the infrastructure. Obviously athletes will need to adjust if it's done in October, but that is just an adjustment that is easily done.

"There is no international airport near Eugene, not many hotels, sure it has the fans, but Doha is gaining more experience each year with the diamond leagues.

"I did the world indoors there in 2010 and the facilities, medical, everything was great."

Scottish former Fifa referee Hugh Dallas, now in charge of appointing match officials in Greece, has decided to limit his workload after his assistant was injured in a street attack that triggered the indefinite suspension of the country's football leagues.

The Greek Football Association says Dallas will limit his duties to referee training following Friday's attack on referee Christoforos Zografos, who was severely beaten with wooden clubs.

The 57-year-old Dallas, who refereed at the 1998 and 2002 World Cup finals, was appointed earlier this year to oversee refereeing in an effort to combat perceived corruption in the sport.

Scotland boss Gordon Strachan says he is juggling a desire to beat Roy Hodgson's men with satisfying his squad's hopes of featuring in the game.

West Brom midfielder James Morrison trained on Monday after missing Friday's win against the Republic or Ireland through illness. But Manchester United counterpart Darren Fletcher did not take part in the final session because he was feeling unwell.

Welsh international Jonathan Thomas is set for a return to the Worcester Warriors first-team in Friday's Championship clash against Jersey.

The 31-year-old flanker, capped 67 times by Wales, has not played yet this season because of a knee injury, but Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that Thomas will be among the 22 on Friday.

English international full-back Chris Pennell, recovering from a groin injury, is also expected to be named in the squad.

Roger Federer plays down reports that he had a heated argument with Swiss compatriot Stan Wawrinka at the ATP Finals - after it was claimed Federer's wife was chirping in the ear of Wawrinka during their semi-final.

World number two Federer admits the pair had words in the locker room, but refuses to comment on the role played by his better half, Mirka, who was sitting courtside.

"We had a conversation after the match. Everything is totally relaxed," he says. "There are no hard feelings whatsoever. We are friends, not enemies. It was a heat of the moment situation."

Imagine Jo-Wilfried Tsonga trash-talking his opponent like Muhammad Ali. Or Richard Gasquet somersaulting over the net like Prince Naseem Hamed. No?

But it seems the French Davis Cup team have taken some inspiration from the boxing fraternity ahead of this weekend's Davis Cup final against Switzerland.

These silky robes have been spotted hanging in the French changing room. They can't possibly strut out on to court wearing these, can they?

Hull FC have released winger Jason Crookes by mutual consent, BBC Radio Humberside reports.

The 24-year-old featured on only three occasions for the Black and Whites last season and went on to finish the campaign on loan at Championship side Featherstone.

Roger Federer's participation in the Davis Cup final against France is hanging in the balance with the 17-time grand slam champion still unable to train because of the back problem which forced him to miss Sunday's ATP World Tour Final in London.

"My back is better than it was, but not good enough for practice yet. But I'm hopeful," the world number two told a news conference.

"It's a complex issue and Fifa lodging criminal proceedings is merely the latest twist in a long, long saga.

"In effect, it is tantamount to Hans-Joachim Eckhart (the report author) saying there are limitations or restrictions to how far Fifa could go.

"This is an internal disciplinary investigation by a sports organisation, they could not seize email or phone records, they could not demand certain witnesses appear in front of them and be interviewed.

"A criminal investigator has more power, and they think some things they have unearthed warrant further probing by the attorney general who has more powers."

Fifa president Sepp Blatter also rejects the demand from English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke for the full report into alleged World Cup corruption to be published.

A 42-page summary report was released last week but quickly criticised by Michael Garcia, who spent two years investigating the claims of wrongdoing.

"Once again, we have examined this matter very, very carefully from a legal point of view," says Blatter. "The result was clear: if Fifa were to publish the report, we would be violating our own association law as well as state law.

"The people who are demanding in the media and elsewhere that Fifa publish the report are obviously of the opinion that Fifa should or must ignore the law in this regard. We obviously cannot do that."
