The Aston Villa midfielder made his England debut earlier this month and is continuing to work hard on his game by training extra hours in his local gym.

The 24-year-old has been working closely with trainer Jamie Donald, who made sure the Villa Park favourite was in peak condition for the new season.

'I have been working really hard with a trainer called Jamie Reynolds and I seem to have benefited," said Delph in an interview with the Birmingham Mail.

'I started pre-season feeling quite strong and the first two games I thought I’ve done really well, but against Hull I had a bit of an off day, in my own opinion.

'I’ve had some terrible injuries, I know I always go on about it but I feel really proud to have overcome those injuries and to be playing in one of the toughest leagues in the world. It is all about how you prepare and how you train and finding the right balance, and I seem to have done that."
