Back in April, Petrov told the BBC that his fitness levels were improving and despite being 36-years-old, he wants to get back to playing as a full time professional.
Villa have agreed to let ‘Stan’ join them for pre-season and if he can prove his fitness, there could be an opportunity for him to get into Roberto Di Matteo’s squad as the Villans look to gain promotion next year
