Jack Grealish had declared for Ireland. Or so we believed. This tweet he just sent out is adding to the confusion.
One of the hottest young properties in the game, Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, is involved in a big tug-of-war between the Republic of Ireland and England.
Some news this morning seemed to indicate that he had decided to row in with the Irish, but he just tweeted this and it’s just adding more confusion to the situation:
Some stuff in the papers today about me that I didn’t even no myself

It had been hoped that he would earn his first Irish senior call-up for the friendly against USA in November, but after that tweet, we’re just not very sure any more.
