The Aston Villa man has not yet received a call for the Three Lions despite the change of his international allegiance to the Republic of Ireland

Gareth Southgate suggested Jack Grealish to play in Premier League football when he was to receive his first call in England.

Grealish, 23, has not played for England since his change of allegiance to the Republic of Ireland, despite his good impression at the club level with Aston Villa in the championship.

Southgate has named Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has not yet played in a Premier League game against Chelsea, a first in the British team 5-0 against the Czech Republic on Friday, with Declan Rice also called for the final selection .

England's confidence in youth has been an essential part of Southgate's management of the Three Lions, but, although Grealish remains on the cusp of being summoned, the manager has acknowledged that the middle perspectives of land would increase as it ramped up.

"Jack briefly worked with us in the under-21s," said Southgate.

"The difficulty is always, although we can see the quality, when the evidence of the opponent is of a different level, it is difficult to correlate directly what it will look like at a higher level.

"With Callum, he plays in Europa League, he plays in the Premier League, it makes a difference.

"I'm not going to say that we will not pick a championship player because it could happen, but it is much more difficult to badess his level.

"You see some parts of the game but not others, not at times, nor tactical discipline.

"It's another level in the Premier League, speed, pace, so it's a player we all know, a player we follow.

"But we will not see the last piece of evidence that could give you confidence to choose it by the time we will not see it." But as an ex-man from Villa, I hope we do not not too long. "

Hudson-Odoi was impressed after playing against the Czech Republic and playing a key role in Tomas Kalas' goal. Southgate is confident that he made the right decision by summoning the young Chelsea.

"We have competitors for places," added Southgate. "I think with the attacking players, anyway, they mature at a very young age and can go very young.

"So it's not a problem to play them, and really we found another player that we really liked [in Hudson-Odoi]but we were not sure he would be able to adapt to this level and we are lucky enough to find him.

"We probably would not have done that in this camp, we would have left it a little longer in under 21. But he has already proven in this environment that he can do more than that." He's a very confident boy. "
