The Football Association are facing questions over the safeguarding of young female players following shocking allegations made against a former Aston Villa coach, revealed by Sportsmail today.
Jack Peel is accused of sending inappropriate messages to academy players at several Women's Super League clubs, including a request for naked photographs, during his time as head coach of the women's academy at the Premier League club.
Peel was suspended by Villa in September 2021 after they received a complaint about his alleged behaviour from a member of the first-team squad and conducted an internal investigation.
