On Wednesday, Aston Villa’s official Twitter account posted a video of Gabriel Agbonlahor stepping up his recovery from a calf problem.
The 31-year-old only made 13 Championship appearances last season after struggling to overcome a hamstring problem.
He has scored once and provided one assist in four league appearances during the 2017-18 campaign, but is currently on the sidelines with a calf injury.
Villa were hopeful that they were bringing some good news when a video emerged of the experienced forward riding an exercise bike, but that was not the case.
Indeed, the Championship club’s supporters instead took the chance to poke fun at the former England international, with one fan claiming that Agbonlahor was simply getting fit in order to be sold in the January transfer window.
The forward, who is valued at £900k by transfermarkt.co.uk, is closing on 400 appearances for Villa, which should almost give him legend status, but a succession of injury and fitness problems have harmed his career in recent seasons.
A selection of responses from the Villa supporters can be seen below:
