Gabriel Agbonlahor on verge of Aston Villa exit after first team exile over fitness issues
GABBY AGBONLAHOR looks to have played his last game for Aston Villa after being publicly shamed over his lack of fitness.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has been exiled from Aston Villa's first team due to fitness concerns
The 29-year-old club captain is being exiled from the first team for two weeks and put on an intensive training programme.
Caretaker boss Eric Black has come down hard on his £50,000-a-week star who was recently pictured partying in Dubai and appearing to smoke a shisha pipe.
"We agreed together that we would put this programme in place," said Black. "He will do some group some work, some work with the under-21s and further work with individual coaches. He's agreed that he needs to be in better condition."
