(Reuters) - Aston Villa will take a late call on Jack Grealish's availability for their Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur as he comes back from a leg injury, manager Dean Smith said on Friday.
Grealish, who has six goals and 10 assists this season, has sat out the last five matches and Smith said Villa have missed the England international after the club won only one game during that run.
"Since the break in January, we have dropped off in terms of creating chances, but I don't think it's just us. We have been working extremely hard to get that back. Smith had reason to smile, however, after Villa forward Ollie Watkins was rewarded with his first senior England call-up for an impressive campaign in which he has scored 10 goals in 27 matches in his debut season in the top flight.
