Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is “deeply embarrassed” after he “stupidly agreed” to go to a friend’s house this weekend during the coronavirus lockdown, he said in a video message on Twitter. Less than 24 hours before the incident, the 24-year-old Grealish had launched a video appeal for people to stay at home during the Government-enforced lockdown. “Aston Villa is deeply disappointed that one of our players ignored the Government’s guidance on staying at home during the coronavirus crisis,” a club statement read. “Club captain Jack Grealish has accepted that his decision to leave his house was wrong and entirely unnecessary. “The player will be disciplined and fined with the proceeds donated to The University Hospitals Charity in Birmingham.”PA Media
