Jack Grealish is expected to be back in action for Aston Villa next month, according to the Daily Mirror.
The midfielder has been absent since picking up a shin injury against West Brom in December and has been kept away from football since then.
Having recently spent a week in Dubai to recover, Grealish watched his side once again fail to record a positive result.
Missing seven matches now, Villa have won just once without their talisman.
Back up and running again, it will, however, take some time for the 23-year-old to be fighting fit again.
Expected to miss the encounters with Hull, Ipswich, and Reading, the Birmingham-native is tipped to return to first team action against Sheffield United.
In what could be a crucial game in Villa’s faint-looking title hopes, manager Dean Smith will welcome the playmaker back with open arms.
When quizzed on the issue, the Mirror quote Smith as having said:
Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later.
