JACK GREALISH posted a classy five-word message to England stars ahead of their Euro 2024 victory against Serbia.
Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions won 1-0 against their tough opponents in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday night.
Jude Bellingham scored the only goal of the game in a brutal 90 minute clash.
But England were without Manchester City star Grealish entirely after he was dropped from the final 26-man squad after a dismal end to his domestic season.
The 36-time England international’s absence came as a surprise to many, with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze preferred.
However, Grealish accepted Southgate’s decision with grace after featuring for just 10 minutes in City’s final five league matches, while also being left on the bench for the FA Cup defeat to Man Utd.

Grealish shared a massive apartment with brother Kevan and a group of pals, and watched England’s game from there.
He will also enjoy a holiday with long-term partner Sasha Attwood, with a source saying: “Jack intends to enjoy the unexpected time off.”
