Aston Villa boss Remi Garde isn’t going to just let Jack Grealish walk straight back into the team.
The Ireland youth international, who declared for England earlier in the year, has not featured since being criticised for his antics in the wake of the 4-0 defeat at Everton.
Grealish was sent to train with the under-21s following that incident, and was left out for matches against Watford and Southampton.

Now Garde has explained that the 20-year-old has one more hoop to jump through.
“Jack Grealish will play for the reserve team on Monday and will probably rejoin the group after that,” the manager is quoted as saying in The Guardian.
Could he return for the home game against Arsenal?
