Remi Garde hopes Jack Grealish has "learned" after being dropped

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde has claimed that he hopes Jack Grealish has "learned" after he was dropped from the first team as punishment for his off-field activity.

The 20-year-old was ordered to train with the club's Under-21s once video footage emerged of the midfielder partying in Manchester following a 4-0 defeat to Everton last month.

Grealish has missed Villa's last two matches, but will return to the squad for this Sunday's home clash against Arsenal.

"He is a talented young player but only Jack knows if he has learned," Garde told reporters. "I'll still be close with him. I have the feeling Jack needs to be more disciplined, this way I feel he can improve his game."

Villa are currently at the bottom of the Premier League table.
