Samatta: Tanzania captain resumes training at Aston Villa

Following the easing of the coronavirus lockdown in England, Mbwana Samatta and Marvelous Nakamba resumed training alongside three other players at Aston Villa on Friday.

Earlier this week, the English top-flight authorities granted clubs permission to resume training for the first time in eight weeks after players and club staff underwent coronavirus testing between Saturday and Sunday.

The Premier League has been on suspension since March with the Villains battling against relegation in the 19th place on the table.

Aston Villa resumed training on Wednesday with Egypt duo Ahmed Elmohamady and Trezeguet among the first batch of players to resume to the field while Samatta and Zimbabwe’s Nakamba were put through their paces on Friday.
