Aston Villa still no closer to knowing when Jack Grealish will be back despite 'positive scan' on shin injury as Dean Smith insists club 'will not rush' captain

Jack Grealish hopes to resume training next week but Aston Villa are still no closer to knowing when their captain will return to action.

The 25-year-old has not featured since Villa’s 0-0 draw at Brighton on February 13 due to the issue, and also suffered a setback prior to the 3-1 win over Fulham on April 4, when he had been due to return.

England manager Gareth Southgate plans to select Grealish, who is working alone following a scan on the injury, in his squad for Euro 2020 squad and will be keeping a close eye on developments.
