Jack Grealish is a delight to work with and has not caused a single problem, according to England U21's interim boss Aidy Boothroyd.
The Aston Villa youngster was suspended for one match last month following a breach of his club's disciplinary rules; accused of hosting a party in Birmingham hours after their previous Championship game.
Grealish was also suspended by the Villans last season for breaking post-match rules to party in Manchester but Boothroyd, who has taken temporary charge of the Young Lions following Gareth Southgate's promotion, insists the player has his head down.
"He doesn't wallow too long in anything. He is upbeat, has plenty to say for himself, and has a lovely personality," Boothroyd said.
"He is playing for his country and he has to make sure he stays in this group. He's been brilliant, he's a terrific guy and we've had no problems whatsoever. All of them are very easy to work with.

"He comes in, trains and the past is the past. It's about dealing with the present and focusing on the future. He is training hard, working well and we move on."
Grealish missed Thursday's 1-0 win in Kazakhstan, which booked the U21s a place at Euro 2017, with an ankle injury but is expected to feature in their final qualifier against Bosnia on Tuesday.
