Aston Villa players have been at the Lensbury Club, just down the road from Kingston, this week as part of their pre-season training camp, Nub News can reveal.

The Premier League squad, including England player Jack Grealish, have been prepping for this weekend's friendly against Sevilla at the nearby hotel and leisure centre.

Photos and videos from the club's official Instagram page and Twitter show the Birmingham-based team training on Lensbury grounds.

The club's main hotel and tennis courts are clearly visible in the posts which included a video interview at the Lensbury yesterday (3 August).

From the media shared by the football club it appears that area within the Lensbury has been sectioned off for training, with goalposts set up so the club's strikers can practice their free kicks.

Fans of Jack Grealish will be disappointed, however, as it was reported today that the striker has travelled to Manchester as negotiations continue for his £100 million transfer.
