(Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate said midfielders Jack Grealish and Mason Mount can play together for the national team on the evidence of their performances in Thursday’s 3-0 friendly win over Ireland. Southgate had benched Grealish for last month’s Nations League games against Belgium and Denmark but handed the Aston Villa man his second England start, playing him in an advanced role on the left with Mount keeping his place in midfield. Asked on ITV if the duo could play together more frequently, Southgate said: “Yeah of course. There’s a lot of other players in the squad as well, we have great competition for places. Southgate said he was particularly impressed with how Sancho and Grealish combined in attack.
