BRUCE IN A JACK PANIC

Aston Villa v Preston 7.45pm

STEVE BRUCE has warned Villa that another stern test awaits tonight – just as they face an injury nightmare.

Already without Jonathan Kodjia and Albert Adomah, Bruce is sweating on the fitness of Jack Grealish (right).

“We lacked creativity without Jack on Saturday,” said Bruce ahead of the visit of Preston. “They’ve lost only six games so it will be a tough test.”
