Man City player Jack Grealish makes admission over England World Cup squad place
manchestereveningnews.co.ukJack Grealish has spoken about the prospect of making his World Cup debut later this year.
The Manchester City forward will be one of many players hoping to do enough to convince Three Lions' boss Gareth Southgate he is worthy of inclusion in the 26-man squad. There are little more than six weeks until the first-ever winter staging of the extravaganza in Qatar.
Grealish has been in good form in the Premier League of late and knows he must keep that up to get selected. The 27-year-old who starred in his country's march to the European Championship final on home soil last year — says the chance to pull on the famous white shirt at a World Cup would be "the best feeling ever".

Appearing on BT Sport's Around the Block series, Grealish was asked about his chances of making the final cut.
He said: "I don't want to jinx it, (but) I need to start performing and scoring goals, getting assists and playing regularly. If I do, I'm sure I will be there. There's so many good players in my position, so many good attacking players that the manager can pick from but if I did make them, it would be the best feeling ever.
"The World Cup, doing it for your country, representing your country - I don't think there's any better feeling."
England's tournament starts against Iran on November 21, before facing USA on November 25 and then Wales on November 29.
