Jack Grealish ruled out of Aston Villa's trip to Sheffield United but Dean Smith reveals he's hoping to have his captain back in training this week

Aston Villa will again be without skipper Jack Grealish when they face Sheffield United on Wednesday, boss Dean Smith has revealed.

Grealish has not been involved in the last two games due to a lower leg injury, a 2-1 home loss to Leicester and Saturday's 1-0 victory at Leeds.

Asked about the England international at his press conference ahead of the trip to Bramall Lane, Smith said: 'He won't be ready for the game tomorrow, he's not travelling with us.
