Aston Villa Football Club's plans to revamp its training ground to make overnight accommodation for players and staff have been recommended for approval.
North Warwickshire Borough Council's planning board will consider the proposals for Bodymoor Heath at a meeting on Monday.
The plans include better facilities for the club's women and youth teams and a permanent new office space for administrative and media staff.
However, a council report acknowledges a new two-storey rehabilitation centre may not be deemed appropriate due to Bodymore Heath being on green belt land.
The new centre would include 40 bedrooms for players and staff to stay on site when they return from evening games.
