Aston Villa expect Jack Grealish to be fit for their crucial Premier League visit to Leicester next Monday.

The Villa captain appeared to be struggling towards the end of Sunday's 2-1 Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.

However, Villa have confirmed to Sky Sports News that Grealish was suffering from cramp in both calves and will return to training with the rest of the first-team squad on Tuesday.

Villa currently sit 19th in the Premier League on 25 points, two adrift of safety, although they have played a game fewer than their relegation rivals.

Despite Villa's struggles, Grealish has excelled during their first season back in the top-flight, leading to calls for him to be called up by England ahead of Euro 2020.
