Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has been in the middle of controversy for a few years now, with the 21-year-old continuing to work his way into headlines for his behaviour both on and off the pitch.

The most recent incident came at the weekend during the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers when the midfielder allegedly stamped on Conor Coady following an altercation on the ball.

As reported by Birmingham Mail, a decision is expected to be made today regarding whether or not he will be punished.

The incident was followed by a stand off between both sets of players, with Coady and Ross McCormack being booked meanwhile Grealish was not reprimanded. He could potentially face a three-game ban depending on the supposed severity of what happened.

A suspension would be one of the worst possible starts to Steve Bruce’s tenure, with Grealish set to play an important role in Villa’s push to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt. With the Second City derby against Birmingham City also on the horizon, Bruce will be praying that the FA decide against punishing him.

The club will be hoping to move swiftly on from this regardless of what happens as they prepare to face play-off contenders Reading at the Madjeski Stadium.
