At the moment, Jack Grealish seems to be one of the most popular players in the England squad – he has an infectious personality.

A number of players named him the funniest in Gareth Southgate’s side, although one incident recently saw him clash with Declan Rice.

What happened between Grealish and Rice?

Well, England posted behind-the-scenes footage of the players training at Hotspur Way, ahead of the 1-1 draw against Hungary.

At 10:10 in the YouTube footage, Grealish is dribbling on the edge of the box, when Rice flies in and knocks him off the ball.

Once the attack ends, the £100m man can be seen moaning at the West Ham midfielder, who spreads his arms out as if to ask what the issue is.

Then, at 10:40, Grealish can be heard saying: “I don’t get how you can say that isn’t a foul.”

Rice then hits back, saying: “I tried to block and you ran into me. Let’s watch it back.”

Trouble in paradise? Apparently so.

No issues between the West Ham and Manchester City stars

Thankfully, the pair do not appear to be holding a grudge against one another.

At 11:00, we see Rice stood with his arm around Grealish, telling the cameras that they’ve made up.

The 22-year-old does, however, conceded that Grealish was “mad” with him earlier in the training session.

Nevertheless, it’s good to see it’s now water under the bridge.

Grealish and Rice are arguably two of England’s most important players, and as a nation, we need them reading from the same page going forward.
