Jack Grealish will NOT be leaving Aston Villa on loan this season.

Grealish has this week been linked with a temporary switch to a Championship club, with Derby said to be interested in him.

But Villa boss Remi Garde has confirmed that the 20-year-old will be staying to take part in the club's Premier League survival battle.

Garde started Grealish in last weekend's defeat at Sunderland but substituted him just after half-time.

“It’s not case with Jack,” said Garde.

“He started the last Premier League game versus Sunderland.

“I wouldn’t start a player a week ago and then say ‘go on loan’.

“I’m relying on Jack, but like other players he could be better.”
