Jack Grealish still being punished for weekend party session

"Unprofessional"

As if having an iced-gem biscuit haircut and not going to the Euros wasn’t punishment enough.

Despite languishing at the bottom of the Premier League and just losing 2-3 at home to Watford, Aston Villa have decided not to recall Jack Grealish for their upcoming match against Southampton.

The English midfielder has been exiled from the senior squad and ordered to train with the under-21s for another week, according to the Telegraph.

This marks the second week of punishment for Grealish after he was photographed, and videoed, on a night out at a Manchester nightclub hours after his side were hammered 4-0 by Everton.

Last week the Villa manager said: “You have to behave as a professional and it was not the case this time for Jack.

“He will not play with us, which is already a big punishment for a player. Now we will see the next step.”

Villa are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and are already seven points adrift of 17th-placed Newcastle United.
