Jack Grealish believes he should have made England’s Euro 2024 squad because he offers something “different” to the rest of the team.
The Man City star was a surprise snub from Gareth Southgate’s squad and had to watch from afar as the Three Lions reached the final of the competition before losing out to Spain.
Grealish had been a regular feature of the squad under Southgate and backed himself to have made a difference had he been selected.
“I felt I should have been in the squad,” Grealish said.
“I feel like I offer something different to players in the England squad. But it is what it is.”
Grealish also admitted being left out was the hardest thing he has had to go through in his football career.
He said: “When you are on your holidays, every time you turn on the phone or the TV you just see it so it was hard not to see.
“I’ll be honest, football-wise it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to deal with in terms of my own career.
“I was absolutely heartbroken. For myself now moving forward, I have to just try and use that as motivation going into this season.”
