Aston Villa have confirmed that striker Gabriel Agbonlahor
has been suspended with immediate effect after a picture appeared of him
holding a shisha pipe during a recent trip to Dubai.
The club confirmed the news on Friday morning before interim first
team coach Eric Black’s press conference, with the forward facing an
internal investigation. Agbonlahor travelled to Dubai during the
international break, where he was pictured inhaling from what appeared
to be a shisha pipe.
The former England striker was also seen drinking champagne, and with
Villa performing so woefully in the Premier League this season with
relegation almost a certainty, fans will not be pleased to see a member
of the playing squad drinking and smoking a shisha pipe.
The club’s official Twitter account confirmed the news, posting:
“Gabby Agbonlahor will not be involved in Saturday’s early afternoon
clash with @ChelseaFC.
“An internal investigation is currently underway. While this is being conducted, Gabby Agbonlahor will not feature.”
Team news: Gabby Agbonlahor will not be involved in Saturday’s early afternoon clash with @ChelseaFC. #AVFC
Agbonlahor has made 18 appearances this season, with all but
three coming in the Premier League, but a return of just one goal has
not helped Villa’s cause and he was dropped to the bench for Remi
Garde’s final match in charge in the 1-0 defeat by Swansea before the
international break.
Next Aston Villa manager (five serious, five not so...)

The news comes days after manager Garde was sacked, having lasted
just four months in the job after replacing Tim Sherwood. Villa will go
into the Saturday lunchtime kick-off with Chelsea without a replacement
confirmed, despite being linked with former Manchester United manager
David Moyes and ex-Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson.
