Aston Villa will hold an open training session at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon after a friendly with Sevilla was called off because of coronavirus.

The La Liga side were unable to travel to England owing to a Covid outbreak among the squad.

Ticket holders will be given a full refund but are still able to watch the session free of charge.

The club have arranged a behind-closed-doors friendly against Serie A side Salernitana on Sunday instead.

Dean Smith's side begin their Premier League campaign at Watford on Saturday, 14 August.
