Jack Grealish’s banishment from the Aston Villa side is over.
The 20-year-old was condemned to the club’s Under-21 set-up a fortnight ago following the emergence of video footage of the player out drinking in a Manchester nightclub just hours after Villa’s 4-0 defeat by Everton.
New manager Remi Garde sent Grealish to train with the youth teams and the playmaker turned out for the Under-21s last night.
But, having missed Premier League games against Watford and Southampton that saw bottom club Villa pick up just a single point, Garde is ready to welcome Jack back into his plans for this weekend’s home game against Arsenal.
The French boss said: “I am pleased to have him back because he’s an important player for the group.
“I am pleased regarding how Jack trained over the past two weeks with the Under-21s. Jack is back. I am happy for that – and for the team.”
