Aston Villa players came face-to-face with some of Australia's most famous creatures this week.

Emi Martinez, John McGinn and Philippe Coutinho were joined by Ahmed Elmohamady on a visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

The quartet held koalas, fed kangaroos and watched crocodiles from a distance before learning about the vital conservation work carried out at Currumbin.
