The winger has arguably been showcasing his best form in the Championship this season.
Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish
A report in the Birmingham Mail has claimed that Jack Grealish is hopeful of being available for Aston Villa’s game with Nottingham Forest this weekend, despite leaving England’s under-21 side due to injury.
The winger suffered a minor knock to his knee ahead of the Three Lions’ game with Norway on Tuesday, and the Mail is reporting that he has now returned to the Villans.
But despite the setback, the Mail adds that the 20-year-old is in line to feature during the club’s clash with Forest on Sunday as the injury is not thought to be too serious.
The news that Grealish’s injury is unlikely to keep him out will be a major boost to Roberto Di Matteo.

The youngster, like the majority of his teammates, endured a terrible time last season, making just nine starts and contributing just one league goal as Villa went down quite emphatically.
However, the early signs in the new campaign suggest that he is ready to take his game to the next level.
He has already doubled last season’s goalscoring tally, and he will be hoping that he gets the chance to contribute yet another when Philippe Montanier’s men visit Villa Park on Sunday.
