Fantasy football expert who caused uproar when he revealed star player Jack Grealish's injury is revealed as Norwegian called Henning who built his own bot to beat the system

A Fantasy Football expert who caused a major upset when he publicised star Jack Grealish's shin injury has been revealed as an Aston Villa fan from Norway known only as Henning - who is 'sorry, not sorry'.

Premier League club Aston Villa had been trying to hide midfielder Grealish's injury before three Villa players and two support staff removed the team captain from their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) line-ups.

By unwittingly giving out real team news that the 25-year-old was unlikely to play, then highlighted by Henning's Twitter account FPL Insider, they gave Leicester City time to prepare tactically and beat Villa 2-1.
