Villa hard at work in Dubai

Aston Villa wasted no time at all as they immediately got to work on their mid-season training camp in Dubai.

Unai Emery and his players, those not called up for international duty by their respective countries, arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Monday morning.

And the Villans were duly put through their paces at the club’s training base as the sun set in the Middle East.
