Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been reacting on social media after the club released some training ground footage ahead of the clash with Newcastle United on Friday evening.

One player fans didn’t see in the two-and-a-half-minute video was star man Jack Grealish, who has missed the last four games with a leg injury.

The 25-year-old has been influential under Dean Smith this season, scoring seven times and registering 12 assists in 23 appearances.

Villa have scored just twice in the 360 league minutes without Grealish on the pitch, picking up four points from a possible 12.

And it seems as if the playmaker could well miss out again, as based on the footage he was absent from the session shared on Villa’s official Twitter page.

Other noticeable absentees from the video were striker Ollie Watkins, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and right-back Matty Cash.

This is what these Villa fans had to say in regards to the Wednesday post, with some worrying about his absence, others praising 'mind games from the club' and one even describing the post as 'trolling'.
