Aston Villa supporters are fuming as Jack Grealish will reportedly not start for England against Croatia.

The Athletic report that the Villa captain will start on the bench for England. Grealish started and impressed in warm-up games against Austria and Romania.

Moreover, Grealish has been one of Villa’s star players over the past two seasons and looked like a shoo-in to make Gareth Southgate’s England XI for their Euro 2020 opener against Croatia.

However, it appears that the winger will start the match on the bench. Indeed, Raheem Sterling taking his place in the XI. Tyrone Mings, however, will retain his spot in the starting line-up.

The overall reaction to the news has been negative, with fans from all clubs fuming that Grealish won’t be handed a start this afternoon.

And Villa fans, in particular, were mad on social media that their club captain will be dropped for England’s Euro 2020 opener.

Here’s what some fans had to say about Grealish missing out for England today on Twitter…

Grealish will wear the no. 7 shirt for England this tournament, a sign beforehand that was seemingly a hint that he would start for Southgate early in the competition.
