Aston Villa manager Remi Garde watched his side lose 3-0 to the club's U21 development team in a behind closed doors match at their Bodymoor Heath training ground last Friday.
Villa first-team players Brad Guzan, Alan Hutton, Ciaran Clark, Kieran Richardson, Ashley Westwood, Jordan Veretout, Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Bacuna and Scott Sinclair all featured in the match, which offered little to please Garde.
With Villa not in FA Cup action last weekend, Garde gave his players two days off in the lead up to the match with the U21s, but it failed to have the desired effect.
According to The Birmingham Mail, Garde is expected to watch the U21 side in their clash against Swansea City on Monday as he weighs up possible changes to his team ahead of the trip to face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
