Aston Villa’s official foundation page posted details of a number of supporters being invited to Villa Park to watch first-team training on Tuesday afternoon.

And plenty of fans then heaped praise towards the club for their act of kindness on social media.

Dean Smith’s side have recently come off the back of a memorable 1-0 win at Old Trafford over Manchester United and are now preparing to take on Tottenham this weekend.

Villa trained on the Villa Park surface ahead of Sunday’s visit to north London and invited supporters who have faced adversity in terms of their mental or physical health to watch the session in person.

The club’s official foundation page shared three pictures alongside their message on Tuesday, two of which were of Smith.
