England take on Croatia on Sunday, but Jack Grealish and Dominic Calvert-Lewin may now be sweating over their hopes of starting.
The Three Lions beat Romania 1-0 on Sunday. Grealish won a penalty, which Marcus Rashford converted to give England the win.
Grealish will have been pleased with his input for the goal, but England boss Gareth Southgate wasn’t too impressed in the first half.
The Daily Mail report that Southgate ripped into Grealish, Calvert-Lewin, Jadon Sancho and Rashford as they weren’t pressing with the right intensity.
Will Grealish start for England against Croatia?
Grealish still has a great chance of starting on Sunday, even if his pressing wasn’t quite right against Romania.
His ability on the ball is frankly ridiculous, with few in the squad able to ghost past players like Grealish can.
There is real competition on the left wing or as a number 10, but Grealish looks sharper than Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling right now.
Will Calvert-Lewin start for England against Croatia?
Probably not, and Sunday’s game hasn’t really changed anything.
Calvert-Lewin is stuck behind Harry Kane in Tottenham’s attacking options, with little to no chance of him starting anyway.
The Everton star is likely to be an impact substitute for England this summer, and he will have to take his chances when they come.
