Jack Grealish returns to training for Villa

Villa midfielder Jack Grealish is back in training and could be brought back in from the cold after Villa's humiliating defeat against Liverpool.

Grealish had been out with a combination of tonsillitis and an ankle injury after being banished to the subs' bench by Villa boss Remi Garde. But the 20-year-old could find himself back in contention for a starting place following the worst home league defeat for Villa in more than 80 years at the weekend.

Garde had already pulled the plug on a sunshine break for his players in the wake of Sunday's St Valentine's Day massacre, insisting on hard work for his under-fire team.

Meanwhile, Villa's former assistant boss Ray Wilkins warned players to stay away from social media following the furore over Joleon Lescott's now infamous 'pocket tweet' of a £125,000 supercar.

Wilkins said: "I've got to say, go nowhere near it.

"He (Lescott) is, trust me, a very nice bloke and it's totally out of character to stick that on there.

"Normally he has a guy that drives a Mercedes for him, but certainly not that one that was posted. Stay away from those things (social media accounts).

"You're just bringing it upon yourself."
