Dietmar Hamann would've included Jack Grealish in England's Euro 2024 squad if he was in charge.
Hamman levelled some criticism at Gareth Southgate's decision to exclude Grealish from the Three Lions' 26-man squad, as the Manchester City player was one of a number of final cuts ahead of the tournament.
Speaking to Prime Casino, Hamman explained why he thinks Grealish should have been on the plane to Germany.
"He’s a great option with the ball – he can get you up the pitch and he wins a lot of free kicks in dangerous positions because of his trickery," Hamman said.
"Sometimes you need that when you’re under pressure. He doesn't give away possession. Even if he wasn’t part of the manager's first team plans, I don’t think you would find a better sub or an option off the bench than Jack Grealish.
"If you want to calm the game down with 20 minutes to go, I don't think there's a better player than him. I was surprised that Grealish wasn’t included. I would have taken him."
