Jack Grealish, who represented Ireland at youth level before switching allegiance to England, is likely to face some abuse from home fans in Saturday’s Nations League match between the sides in Dublin, Ireland striker Callum Robinson said.
Last week, temporary manager Lee Carsley called up Manchester City forward Grealish, who was left out of former head coach Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, for the team’s matches against Finland and Ireland.

Robinson, who went in the opposite direction as Grealish having played for England’s youth teams before switching to Ireland, said he expects the 28-year-old to handle the hot reception.
“I think he’ll be getting ready for a bit of abuse but that’s part of it, it’s part of the game,” Robinson, Grealish’s former teammate at Aston Villa, said on Tuesday.
“He’s old enough and with being a senior player now, that stuff’s going to come.

“I’d be surprised if he doesn’t because I think he gets booed anywhere he goes anyway, even in England.”
