Jack Grealish reveals why he will never ask England team-mate Bukayo Saka to babysit after Man City star becomes a father to daughter Mila with long-term partner Sasha Attwood

The Manchester City forward is now the proud father of baby Mila. Attwood gave birth on September 27, a matter of hours before Grealish lined up in Premier League action against Newcastle. He is now back in the England squad for UEFA Nations League games with Greece and Finland.

• WHAT GREALISH SAID

  While on international duty, Grealish has been asked by BBC 5 Live Sport which of his Three Lions team-mates he would trust most to look after the latest addition to his family. The 29-year-old said: “Harry Kane, I think. It’s quite a young team so I wouldn’t put it on any of the young lads and you know Harry, he’s so reliable. One of the oldest lads, so yeah I’d go Harry.”

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Pressed further on who he would look to avoid, Grealish added: “The worst… I’m going to go Saka. Yeah I’m going to go Bukayo. I just reckon he would be sloppy, you know, falling asleep and that.”

  DID YOU KNOW?

  He went on to say of who he would go to for parenting advice: “I’d go with [Jordan] Pickford. [I’m] Quite close with him. You know what actually, I could go with Dec [Declan Rice] as well. Maybe Dec or Jordan. Yeah, one of them two.”

  WHAT NEXT?

  Grealish marked himself down as the most “fun dad”, while picking out Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as the “strict dad” in England’s squad. The Three Lions, who still have interim boss Lee Carsley at the helm, are preparing to face Greece at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
