Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been responding to a recent post from the Birmingham club.
This comes after the official Villa Twitter account shared a post on their page that contained an article on the club’s website relaying a recent statement made by the Premier League.
The statement revealed on Monday that Premier League shareholders “voted unanimously to return to small group training from tomorrow afternoon – the first step towards restarting the Premier League, when safe to do so. Step One of the Return to Training Protocol enables squads to train while maintaining social distancing. Contact training is not yet permitted. This first stage has been agreed in consultation with players, managers, Premier League club doctors, independent experts and the Government. Strict medical protocols of the highest standard will ensure everyone returns to training in the safest environment possible.”
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were keen on having their say regarding this latest news.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

What do we think?
Aston Villa were promoted back into the top flight at the end of last season having defeated Frank Lampard’s Derby County in the play-off final at Wembley but have only managed seven victories from their 28 fixtures so far.
With Dean Smith’s side currently sat in the relegation zone, when the season resumes, they will need to start getting positive results so they can avoid being relegated to the Championship.
