Dean Smith sets date for Grealish’s return from injury
The Aston Villa manager expects the midfielder, who has missed four league games due to a niggling leg injury, to be back for their home Premier League clash with Tottenham on March 21. Smith’s men have taken just one win from the four games Grealish has sat out so far.
Ahead of Villa’s away fixture at Newcastle, Smith told reporters: “Jack's been making really good progress but, unfortunately, he won't make Newcastle.
“He has been ill this week so he's been off for a couple of days as well, but we're hopeful for the Tottenham game now, that's for sure.”
Smith added: “He's still in and around the training ground. He takes part in the meetings. He's got a voice and an opinion, which is good.
“He was one of the ones when we did our debrief after the Sheffield United game who, having watched the game, was telling the players how well we played and deserved more out of the game. He's matured an awful lot and takes on a lot more responsibility, that's for sure.”
On Villa’s other injured player, Matt Cash, Smith added: “Matt Cash is back to full training. He's travelling with us to Newcastle. He's available for selection.”
