International duty and Borland recognised

The season might be over, but Aston Villa is still a hive of activity throughout the off-season, as players head away on international duty. 

Several first-team stars are currently away representing their countries, while others take some well-earned time off in preparation for the 2025/26 season.

And the past week has seen Villans as active as ever across their official social media channels with updates of what they've been up to since the campaign ended. 

Here are some of the posts you may have missed from over the past week...

Country calls

Villa's players have been in action on the international scene during the June break, participating in World Cup qualifiers, UEFA Nations League fixtures and international friendlies. 

Matty Cash, Emi Martínez and Lucas Digne were among those to share their pride in representing their countries on their channels...

Rest and recharge

The off-season has provided Villans not away on international duty with the opportunity to enjoy some well-earned time away before returning to pre-season. 

Pau Torres took a trip to Roland Garros in Paris for the recent French Open tennis tournament, while Ian Maatsen shared holiday snaps on Instagram...

Congrats, Aidan!

Aidan Borland was recognised at the annual Premier League Academy Awards at Wembley Stadium last week, being named Villa's 2024/25 Scholar of the Year. 

The award recognises one scholar from each club who has excelled across all aspects of the programme, both on and off the pitch, and served as a role model to their peers, with Borland honoured having captained Villa's under-18s to a domestic treble and the last 16 of the UEFA Youth League, while featuring in each of the club's Premier League 2 fixtures.
