Jack Grealish has claimed that Aston Villa’s teammate John McGinn is another player who is constantly kicked by opposition teams.
Speaking to the Guardian, Grealish, who is one of the most fouled players in the Premier League, suggested that he couldn’t wait for McGinn to come back into Villa’s team.
McGinn has missed a large chunk of Villa’s season injury, but is fighting fit now.
And Grealish said can’t wait to get back to working in tandem with the Scottish midfielder.
“Him coming back will be massive for us,” he said. “Having him back will help me because he gets kicked a lot, too.”
McGinn returns to Villa at the perfect time, and Dean Smith will be relying on him to hit the ground running.
Villa are in serious relegation trouble, and currently sit in 19th place in the Premier League table.
If Villa are to escape from trouble then the form of Grealish and McGinn is likely to be pivotal.
McGinn was one of Villa’s star performers in the early part of the campaign, while Grealish is unquestionably their star player.
Villa are due to restart their season with a game against Sheffield United.
