Gareth Southgate says “there is a line”, as he revealed he has privately spoken to Jack Grealish and Manchester City players about the extent of their treble celebrations.

The England manager refused to directly discuss his playmaker, after Grealish visibly made himself the centre of a three-day party that also involved a trip to Ibiza. There is a belief around the squad that Southgate was unhappy with just how excessive the celebrations were, although he stressed that he does plan to use the City players for at least some part of Friday night’s match away to Malta.
