Aston Villa-Wolverhampton Preview

Jack Grealish will be available for Aston Villa at Wolves on Saturday despite breaking coronavirus rules with Ross Barkley last week.

Villa captain Grealish, not in action last weekend after the match against Newcastle United was called off due to COVID-19 cases, and injured team-mate Barkley went out to celebrate the latter's birthday in London.

The meeting was a breach of regulations in the city, but Villa manager Dean Smith is standing by his skipper and suggested there was some confusion with the rules.

"I think our government are confused about the messages that are going out there themselves, so it makes it very difficult for everybody else as well," he said.
