Thirteen Villa players set for extra work in international break
With few first-team players available, Unai Emery has a smaller group to work with while the league pauses, according to Birmingham Live.
Thirteen Aston Villa players are set for extra work during the international break, according to Birmingham Live. The paper reports that Unai Emery has a limited number of first-team players to work with while the fixture list is paused.
Birmingham Live does not spell out in the material available which players are involved or what the additional sessions will cover. It links the plan to a 'crazy' response from Emery.
Villa's last outing was a 3-2 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 19 September. Their next match is at home to Brentford at Villa Park on Saturday 10 October, kick-off 3pm.
