Aston Villa: Sweat-heavy shirts concerning for players, says manager Carla Ward

Carla Ward says Aston Villa players are concerned about the club's sweat-heavy shirts but remain focused on Sunday's game against Manchester United.

Villa's male players say the shirts are uncomfortable because they are retaining sweat.

The club is in talks with British sportswear group Castore but no resolution has yet been found.

"[We have] similar concerns to what the men's team have," manager Ward said.

"I think it was highlighted early in our pre-season from the men's side and backed up by the women's."

The new claret and blue home shirts are the worst affected, noticeably changing colour in games.
