Petrov joins Villa for pre-season camp

Stiliyan Petrov will have the chance to earn a contract at Aston Villa after being confirmed on their pre-season tour of Austria.

The former Bulgaria international was diagnosed with acute leukaemia four years ago, but trained with Villa’s Under-21 side towards the end of last season.

Petrov expressed his desire to be part of Villa’s 2016-17 campaign – which sees them in the Championship after relegation last season – and the club have given him the opportunity. View image on Twitter
