Villa's Grealish looks to make amends for lockdown breach
REUTERS: Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish says he has been doing as much charity work as possible to make amends after being disciplined by the club for ignoring lockdown rules during the COVID-19 pandemic.
British media had reported West Midlands Police opened an investigation after the midfielder was pictured leaving an estate in Birmingham following a traffic accident in March.The 24-year-old apologised in a video posted on Twitter before the club said they would discipline him. "I knew straight away that I had to come out and apologise myself," the Times quoted Grealish as saying."I didn't want to hide behind a club statement. I'm old enough now and mature enough to know I'd done wrong."I raised money for the NHS by raffling off my shirt I wore in the game against Birmingham City.
