Aston Villa's official Twitter account last night confirmed that Gabby Agbonlahor was not fit to play this weekend.

Gabby Agbonlahor has been nursing an injury since he last featured in Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Brentford and although he has been training, he is not quite ready to return to first team action this week.

The 30-year-old is set to train all week with the view of being fit enough to play against Burton Albion next weekend.

The Villains take on Nottingham Forest in the late kick-off today but will be without Gabby Agbonlahor, Mile Jedinak and possibly Henri Lansbury.

Scott Hogan and Jonathan Kodjia should be available up top.

Aston Villa fans took to social media to air their views.

The vast majority of fans were critical of Agbonlahor, claiming that he should not be anywhere near the first team anyway.

Here are how Aston Villa fans reacted to this news on Twitter.
