Aston Villa stepped up pre-season training as they enjoyed their second session in the USA heat on Thursday.

Unai Emery, his coaching staff and Villa’s first-team squad took to the training pitches in Washington, DC to continue their 2024/25 preparations.

The Villans, who took part in their first session just hours after touching down on Wednesday afternoon, face Columbus Crew in their first tour fixture this weekend.
