Aston Villa boss welcomes star Jack Grealish back from training exile
REMI GARDE says he is impressed with Jack Grealish's conduct during the Aston Villa ace's exile from the first team.
Jack Grealish has returned to first-team training at Aston Villa
Manager Garde relegated Grealish to training with the Under-21s after the player visited a Manchester nightclub just hours after Villa's 4-0 loss to Everton.
He missed Villa's Premier League games with Watford and Southampton but did play for the U21s against Derby.
Grealish is now back in training as relegation-threatened Villa desperately seek points heading into the festive period.
He is now expected to be picked for Villa's crunch tie with title-chasers Arsenal on Sunday as new boss Garde seeks his first win in charge of the club.
Garde, 49, took over Villa last month but boasts just two points from four games in charge.
