ASTON VILLA MANAGER Remi Garde will bring Jack Grealish in from the cold in an attempt to arrest the basement club’s alarming Premier League form.
Grealish was banished from the first team after being pictured in a nightclub following a 4-0 loss to Everton last month, leading to Garde accusing the young midfielder of lacking professionalism.
However, Garde has revealed Grealish is to be recalled as Villa — seven points adrift of safety – bid to climb the table.
“Jack Grealish will play with the reserve team on Monday and probably join the group after that,” Garde told reporters following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Southampton.
The 20-year-old has only featured in one of Garde’s four matches in charge so far, with Villa taking just two points from those fixtures.
Despite Joleon Lescott’s first goal for Villa securing a point at St Mary’s, Garde’s men slipped even further from safety after strugglers AFC Bournemouth, Sunderland and Newcastle United won.
Garde revealed he is looking forward to going up against his former mentor Arsene Wenger in Villa’s next match, having been a part of the Arsenal squad that were double winners in 1998.
“It’s a very good feeling [to face Arsenal again]. But my personal feelings are not very important,” he said.
“Of course I have very good memories and a strong relationship with this English football club but I know that it is a very good side and they will come to Villa Park to win the game.”
Home team name first, why disrespect Leitrim, regardless of favorite’s tag.
Leitrim v Galway
Ok
Does anybody know if there’s any periscope streams for any of the games? Castlehaven did it for a recent Club Championship game. I think its a great idea. Louth vs Westmeath will probably be a good competitive game but very few will get to see it, the same with Offaly Longford last night. I think Periscope could solve this!!!
it’s God awful poison.
Enjoying it. What do you want?
a mob of thugs
Oh relax ffs. Not one punch thrown.
the ball is just an excuse in fairness.
No Shane, just nonstop mouthing. Horrible to watch that.
