Jack Grealish: Aston Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo confirms club holding investigation over latest 'hippy crack' incident

Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed Aston Villa have launched an investigation into an incident involving Jack Grealish.

The 21-year-old was reported to have held a rowdy late-night party at a Birmingham hotel following his side's 0-0 draw with Ipswich Town on Saturday.

According to the Daily Mail, balloons containing nitrous oxide, known as hippy crack, were found in the room and police were called to halt the bash.

It is not the first time Grealish's off-field behaviour has been called into question.

The youngster was forced to apologise to then-Villa boss Tim Sherwood early in 2015 after pictures emerged of him inhaling from balloons.
