# Aston Villa: Fans react to Dean Smith’s comments on Jack Grealish

**A number of Aston Villa fans have been giving their thoughts on social media to Dean Smith’s comments on Jack Grealish.**

The 25-year-old has missed the club’s [last nine Premier League fixtures with a shin injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/leistungsdaten/spieler/203460) and will be missing from Villa’s squad against West Brom on Sunday evening.

Smith admitted that the attacking midfielder is [due to go for a scan on the issue next week](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9504737/Dean-Smith-insists-no-doubt-Jack-Grealish-fit-Euro-2020-despite-shin-injury.html) but has no doubt the club captain will be available for England selection at this summer’s European Championship.

The 25-year-old appeared to have a major chance of landing a spot in Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad for the tournament prior to his injury, with Grealish receiving his first [call up back in August](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12016/12060478/jack-grealish-gets-first-england-call-up-from-gareth-southgate).

Talking to the media about the Villa captain, as reported by the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9504737/Dean-Smith-insists-no-doubt-Jack-Grealish-fit-Euro-2020-despite-shin-injury.html), Smith said:

> “There’s not really a timeline as such. He’s due to have a scan next week & hopefully that clears it up & he can go on with training. But we’re guided by the doctors. I have no doubt he’ll be okay for the Euros.”
