A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the club’s latest fitness update, featuring Jack Grealish, Jota and Frederic Guilbert (official Villa website).
Villa Park manager Dean Smith will hope to have Grealish available for the Premier League meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, with a provisional training return pencilled in for Thursday.
