Aston Villa manager Remi Garde has confirmed that midfielder Jack Grealish has been dropped for the Premier League match against Watford on Saturday.
The 20-year-old visited a Manchester nightclub just hours after the team's 4-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park last weekend, before going out with a party of friends in a Birmingham hotel bar on Sunday, with training due the following day.
Grealish has been sent to train with Villa's Under-21 side this weekend, and Garde has refused to say when the youngster will return to the first team.
When asked about Grealish's behaviour, the Frenchman told reporters: "It's not expected or professional. He won't be involved this weekend."
Villa are bottom of the Premier League table going into this weekend's match.
