### Read Aston Villa’s verdict

With a key fixture against Wolves in the Carabao Cup midweek, this could be a big blow for Villa.

Grealish had just hit a great run of form, but if this injury is in anyway serious, this could really halt his progress.

Dean Smith will be hoping that this is only a knock, with some key fixtures coming up.
