Phil Foden shares what Aston Villa's Jack Grealish keeps doing after England training

By John Verrall

Phil Foden has told the Diary Room that there are times when England’s coaches aren’t best pleased with him and Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.

Grealish and Foden have formed a great friendship over Euro 2020.

The Villa and City playmakers have often been filmed together in training or around the camp.

They were also seen embracing at full-time following England’s win over Denmark by ITV, in a clip which has gone viral.

And it seems that their practice sessions after training are part of the reason why the pair get on so well.

“Technically? Probably Jack or Mase, being the best. Me and Jack after training just love to spray the ball in the air and keep it up and not let it touch the ground,” he said.

“We try and fit that in after training. The coaches are not too happy, but we always try to do it after training.”

Euro 2020 final starters?

Both Foden and Grealish may well be hoping to start for England in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.

The pair came off the bench to good impact against Denmark, as the Three Lions bagged a winner.

There could be a slot open down the right flank in Gareth Southgate’s line up, although Bukayo Saka still does look favourite to start ahead of either of the Aston Villa or City players.
