Remi Garde has revealed Jack Grealish will play for Aston Villa's reserves on Monday before returning to training with the club's first team.
Grealish had been forced to train with Villa's development squad as a punishment for being filmed in a Manchester nightclub hours after a 4-0 defeat at Everton and amid allegations he also partied at a Birmingham hotel the following day.
He again had no involvement in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Southampton, but after he has played for the reserves against Derby County on Monday, Garde - who has overseen two draws and two defeats since his appointment as Villa's manager - will consider the 20-year-old for selection.
Garde will then focus on preparing to face Arsenal, the Frenchman's former club from his playing days in England.
"Jack Grealish will play with the reserve team on Monday and will probably join the group after that," Garde said.
"It's a very good feeling [to face Arsenal again]. But my personal feelings are not very important.
"Of course I have very good memories and a strong relationship with this English football club but I know that it is a very good side and they will come to Villa Park to win the game.
"For us it will be very tough but I expect my players to be like they were [in the 0-0 draw with Manchester City]."
