Jack Grealish: Aston Villa captain out for another two weeks after injury setback

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is expected to be out for another two weeks after suffering a setback in his comeback from injury.

But Villa manager Dean Smith admitted Grealish had been rushed back "a little bit too quickly".

"No, he's not [fit]," said Smith, before Saturday's game at Liverpool.

"Myself and Jack were quite optimistic to get him back a bit sooner than he probably should and he's had a setback that will probably put him back a couple of weeks."

Grealish has scored six Premier League goals for Villa this season, adding 10 assists.
