Former Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry is backing Jack Grealish for a big impact over the remainder of the season.

Barry was back at Villa Park on Saturday for a friendly between West Brom and Villa.

The game finished 2-2 with Grealish and Keinan Davis netting for the hosts and Kamil Grosicki and Filip Krovinovic on target for the visitors.

The Mirror says ex-Villa skipper and England ace Barry,39, complimented Grealish afterwards telling him he was “class" and that he scored a great goal.

Grealish, 24, is due to be in action again at Villa Park on June 17 in his side's first game back against Sheffield United after the coronavirus shutdown.
