Grealish is a fan favourite for England and his name was greeted with loud cheers at Wembley when it was announced against Australia.

However Three Lions captain on the night Jordan Henderson was booed as he was substituted, leaving boss Gareth Southgate baffled.

He said of the booing: “I really don’t understand it. He’s a player, 79 caps for England, his commitment and what he’s delivered for England is exceptional.

“His role on and off the pitch is phenomenally important. He’s taken the likes of Bellingham under his wing. He’s a role model for the group in every part of his work.

“Some people decided to boo. I really don’t understand what that’s for. We play Italy here on Tuesday, come on let’s get behind this team. I know we weren’t at our best tonight, but we made a lot of changes.

“This is a team that are delivering a lot and they all deserve every bit of support.

“We’re reviewing all of the [Henderson] games. I think he knitted and held things together quite a bit today. You need leadership, we didn’t have a lot of caps on the field so Hendo’s influence before the game, during the game was hugely important and he helped other players get through the game.”
