Aston Villa have banned their squad from playing Fantasy Premier League after inside information regarding Jack Grealish’s injury was leaked last week.
The fitness of Villa’s captain before the defeat by Leicester was the subject of rumours on social media on Friday night.
The Twitter account FPL Insider reported that multiple Villa players and staff had transferred Grealish out of their dream teams.
Villa manager Dean Smith was furious after the 2-1 loss to Leicester and vowed to investigate how the news of his best player’s injury had become public knowledge.
