Agbonlahor Appointed Skipper by joshfash(m): 7:16pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
Aston Villa have appointed Gabriel Agbonlahor as their new captain, replacing Stiliyan Petrov. Petrov has diagnosed with acute leukaemia and he has been ruled out for the rest of the season at least. His condition was diagnosed following tests after the Bulgaria international developed a fever following last month's defeat by Arsenal. The former Celtic man has begun treatment on his condition at a London specialist hospital. Villa have now turned to Agbonlahor to lead the side in the absence of Petrov for their final seven Premier League games of the season. Agbonlahor, who has come through the ranks at Villa, is the club's longest-serving player and he will take the armband for the first time for this weekend's trip to Liverpool. m.skysports.com/article/sports//7648217 |
