Jack Grealish ‘buzzing’ to be back in Aston Villa action

Villa midfielder Jack Grealish posted an upbeat assessment of his return to action after almost three months out with a kidney injury.

The 22-year-old playmaker was included in Villa’s under-23s side in their 2-0 victory over Wolves at Telford on Tuesday night.

And Grealish – out of action since his suffered a freak injury in a collision with former team-mate Tom Cleverley in the pre-season clash with Watford to honour former boss Graham Taylor – said he was thrilled to get an hour under his belt.

“Buzzing to be back on the pitch and to get a hour under my belt! Nice win too,” Grealish posted on social media after the game.

He is under consideration for a first XI recall by Steve Bruce but it is thought Saturday’s home clash against Fulham could come too soon for the Birmingham-born star.
