ASTON VILLA HAVE axed midfielder Jack Grealish from the squad for Saturday’s match against Watford over his off-the-field behaviour.
New manager Remi Garde said 20-year-old Grealish was “not professional” after he was pictured partying following Villa’s 4-0 Premier League defeat to Everton last weekend.
Grealish has since been training with the under-21 side and would continue to do so, Garde said at a Thursday press conference.
“He won’t be included in the squad for Watford,” said Garde.

“(His actions) are not of the professional standard that I expect from my players. That is why Jack is training in the under-21 team.”
