Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish played down fitness concerns after he came off in England's 1-0 win over Austria.

The Three Lions played a friendly in preparation for Euro 2020 at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough on Wednesday.

Grealish came off with 20 minutes to go and had ice on his shin on the sidelines.

"It has been a great few days, announced in the final squad was hard work for all the season and that was my aim," Grealish told ITV.

"I have had an injury recently but to get 70 minutes under my belt is perfect.

"It's not shin splints. It was a bit of stress on my shin, a different type of injury but I am not concerned. I still need to keep on top of it and heal it after games that is why I had the ice on.

"You cannot knock Austria, top players in the Bundesliga and we have seven or eight top, top players to come back. A good test and another win under our belts."
