Gareth Southgate makes honest admission over Jack Grealish role at Man City

Gareth Southgate has thrown his support behind Jack Grealish but admits he doesn't always know what Manchester City ask of him in the Premier League.

Grealish's role at City has come under scrutiny again this week - mainly because of Graeme Souness - and while the Blues are happy with his progress and his position in the team, outsiders appear to be wanting more from him in terms of goals and assists. Grealish came off the bench for England in their defeat to Italy on Friday, injecting some much-needed energy as he is given a freer role for the Three Lions than under Pep Guardiola at City.

And England boss Southgate insists he is pleased with Grealish's place in the England squad, saying his coaching staff have no complaints with Grealish on international duty.
