And he dribbled around mannequins and took part in a full training session with his non-international team-mates.

It may have come too late for Gareth Southgate’s England, who play Poland on Wednesday.

But superstitious Villa fans have their fingers crossed the omens point to a late end of season surge and possible Euro qualifying place.

Two seasons ago Grealish missed three months with a similar shin injury. 

And Villa’s form slumped as they managed just two wins from their next 14 games.

However Grealish’s return sparked a dramatic 10-game unbeaten run, including nine straight victories.

And Villa surged into the play-off places on their way to promotion at Wembley.

This time Villa faced six games, against Leicester, Leeds, Sheffield United, Wolves, Newcastle and Tottenham without their talismanic skipper – collecting just five points from a possible 18.
