Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish has not played for the Midlands side in any of their last five matches.
Steve Bruce has suggested in the Sutton Coldfield Observer that Jack Grealish could yet come back into his plans at Aston Villa.
Grealish has fallen out of favour at Villa recently, with the youngster having to watch many matches from the substitutes’ bench.
The 21-year-old has not played in any of Villa’s last five matches, with his last appearance coming against Rotherham United at the start of March.
There have been some question marks forming over whether Grealish has a future, while Bruce remains at the club.
But Bruce insists that he still rates the Birmingham born attacking-midfielder, he just wants Grealish to adapt his game.
“Unfortunately, Jack got injured and we’ve gone on a run so I haven’t changed it,” Bruce said.
“Make no mistake Jack’s a very, very good player and a valuable part of the squad.
“He’ll have to adapt to it if that’s the way we’re going to go.
“But, can he play there? Yeah, course he can.”
Grealish was expected to have a key role to play for Villa this season in the Championship, but his form hasn’t been particularly impressive.
Grealish has managed to score just three goals and claim five assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.
Villa’s next match comes against Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium, where Grealish is likely to start from the bench again.
