39-cap England star told he may never play for Three Lions again

Parlour believes Grealish's England career is over after 39 caps; the winger hasn't played for the Three Lions since October 2024 and faces competition from younger attacking talent.

Jack Grealish has not featured for England since a Nations League match against Finland in October 2024, and talkSPORT pundit Ray Parlour believes his international career is effectively finished. The 31-year-old Everton loanee has fallen out of favour at club level and faces stiff competition from younger players including Josh King, Rio Ngumoha and Morgan Rogers in the England setup.

Parlour told the Breakfast Show: "I think his age is against him now and I think there's too many players in front of him. All Jack has got to worry about is playing well for his club. If there's a really bad list of injuries or something happens (who knows?), but I think his time has probably gone now."

Grealish's immediate concerns are at Everton, where he is set to miss his fourth consecutive game against Coventry City on Friday. He was dropped from the squad for the Newcastle visit on 29 October following a breach of club discipline, with talkSPORT understanding he had an unauthorised absence from training. Manager David Moyes has remained tight-lipped but confirmed Grealish will not feature this weekend, though he left the door open for a future return.
