England under-21 boss Aidy Boothroyd backs Jack Grealish to overcome past

Interim England under-21 boss Aidy Boothroyd insists Jack Grealish must forget about his past problems.

The Aston Villa midfielder is expected to start in the Young Lions' final Group 9 game against Bosnia at Walsall on Tuesday, with the team having qualified for Euro 2017.

Grealish was suspended for a game by Villa last month for his part in a raucous hotel party in Birmingham having already been banned from the first team for two weeks last season after clubbing in Manchester following a 4-0 defeat to Everton.

In 2015 he was also pictured passed out in the street on holiday in Tenerife.
