Aston Villa winger Adama Traore is facing a club fine after posting a rant against the club on his Facebook account.

The 20-year-old former Barcelona winger was left out of Saturday's squad to face Southampton and took out his frustration with an angry statement aimed at the club and posted during the game which Villa lost 4-2.

Traore, who earns £40,000 per week and is set for a pay rise despite Villa's relegation to the Championship, said: 'They underestimate you, make you feel worthless, but you constantly work hard behind the scenes to show one day what you're worth and make them understand what you are lost.'

Traore joined from Barcelona last summer for £7million and has made just 10 Premier League appearances all from the bench.

Villa players have failed to cover themselves in any glory as their shambles of a season continues to disintegrate.
