Jack Grealish isn’t sitting around feeling sorry for himself.
The Aston Villa winger was forced to train with the development squad by manager Remi Garde after being pictured out drinking in a Manchester nightclub last week.
But Grealish is making the most of his time away from his first team teammates by saving the day for a junior fan-club Christmas party in Birmingham.
The 20-year-old stepped in at the last minute after the first team’s training schedule was changed on short notice to visit the JV Life event at Dudley Zoo.
Grealish met 500 Villa fans, posed for pictures and signed autographs at the zoo.
