Aston Villa have fired themselves back into the promotion hunt, with Dean Smith looking like he could be the man to take his boyhood club back into the Premier League. 

But a recent dip in form has seen Villa miss out on a chance to close the gap on the top six, which will be disappointing to see.

The Villains are currently sat 12th in the Championship table, and are just six points adrift of the play-off places heading into their game against Hull this weekend.

Dean Smith has had to cope with a number of injuries to some of his key players, and one of them is seemingly edging closer to a return to action.

Jack Grealish has been sidelined with a shin injury that he picked up against West Brom in early December, and his absence has been noticeable in recent weeks, with a real lack of creativity in this Villa side.

Villa's talisman revealed his eagerness to return to the side, to help aid their promotion bid in a post on his Twitter page. 

But how did Villa supporters react to his latest update?
