Aston Villa star set to miss Watford clash after training with youngsters for second day

Grealish broke into the Aston Villa first team last season, but has had problems blight progress

JACK GREALISH could be axed by Aston Villa for Saturday's clash with Watford after being banished to train with the club's youngsters for a second day.

 

Grealish could face an extended spell working with Villa's under-21s after being punished by angry manager Remi Garde.

The Frenchman has told Grealish he must earn a recall to first-team training after being exiled following a night out with friends hours after the 4-0 defeat at Everton.

Grealish has not been told when he will be allowed to train with the senior side again, making him a major doubt for the crucial clash with the Hornets at Villa Park.

 

The 20-year-old was not fined by Villa after being pictured in a Manchester nightclub with friends as his actions came after a game so did not breach club discipline policy.

But the trip to the nightclub, which appeared in the media via mobile phone footage, enraged Garde.

The new Villa manager had warned Grealish just two days earlier that he needed to start living up to his potential.

The young Brummie spent a second day training with the youngsters on Wednesday and Garde is determined the England hopeful will learn his lessons before his exile is ended.

That means he is unlikely to return to time to figure in preparations for Saturday's game.
