Aston Villa have distanced themselves from claims made by sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch that there should be no relegation from the Premier League this season.
Garcia Pitarch – better known as 'Suso' – was reported by Spanish media on Monday as saying that there was 'a certain unanimity' about 'no relegations', after the competition was halted last week due to the coronavirus crisis.
Villa are currently 19th in the table, two points adrift of safety, though they have a game in hand on their main rivals to beat the drop.
