Stiliyan Petrov will train with Aston Villa's first team during pre-season, the club has announced.

The midfielder, 36, was forced to retire from the game after being diagnosed with acute leukaemia four years ago and undergoing three spells of chemotherapy.

But he remained close to Villa during his recovery and trained with the U21 side at the end of last season, saying in April he was hoping to return to professional football.

"I've told Aston Villa that I'm ready to start a pre-season with them," he said. "Obviously they will always have the first look.

"I've been working close to the idea for a year and a half and I've managed to come a long way. I started gradually with slow runs then I moved to five-a-side and then 11-a-side and half a pitch, then Sunday League."

And a statement from Villa on Thursday read: "Aston Villa is pleased to confirm Stiliyan Petrov will take part in pre-season training at first-team level.

"Manager Roberto Di Matteo has revealed the former club captain will travel with the group to Austria as he joins the squad at their training camp."

Petrov, who joined Villa in 2006 from Celtic, made 219 appearances for the club, scoring 12 times.

勵志！抗癌勇士三年後重返賽場

阿士東維拉公佈，球隊前隊長柏度夫成功戰勝病魔，在三年後重返球場，並會在來季以正式球員身份為球隊出戰英冠。

柏度夫在2006年以650萬鎊從些路迪轉投阿士東維拉，為球隊在英超上陣186場。但他在2012年發現自己患上急性白血病，亦即血癌。為了治療癌病，這名前保加利亞國腳迫不得已在2013年宣佈退役。維拉球迷為了表示對柏度夫的支持，曾在每場主場比賽的第19分鐘都起立鼓掌，寓意向穿19號球衣的柏度夫送上祝福。
對抗病魔時，柏度夫一直心繫足球，並曾回到維拉加入教練團，最終成功克服困難回到綠茵場上，無論最後表現如何，相信維拉球迷都會非常珍惜。

【now.com體育】前阿士東維拉隊長柏杜夫被拍到穿起整套球衣，回到阿士東維拉訓練營，與球員一起操練，備戰英冠賽事。

36歲的柏杜夫（Stiliyan Petrov）2012年3月被診斷患上血癌，不過經過4年與癌魔搏鬥後，他已奇蹟地康復。上星期柏杜夫已回到維拉公園，最近他更重踏綠茵場，穿起整套球衣與球員一起操練。

阿士東維拉方面亦發聲明證實，柏杜夫將於新球季開始前回歸球隊，「阿士東維拉足球會很高興地證實柏杜夫將參與一隊的季前訓練。領隊迪馬堤奧曾透露，這位前維拉隊長，將會跟隨大隊前往在奧地利舉行的季前訓練營。」

柏杜夫上次為阿士東維拉上陣已是2012年3月的事，該賽事以0:3敗給阿仙奴。當時他被診斷患上血癌，結果於13年5月宣佈退休，並在2015年3月短暫回到球隊加入教練團。

Stiliyan Petrov: Aston Villa will not offer former captain a contract

Former Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov will not be offered a playing contract after returning to train with the club this summer.

The 37-year-old former Bulgaria midfielder retired from football in 2013 after being diagnosed with an acute form of leukaemia a year earlier.

Petrov was invited to Villa's pre-season training camp in Austria this summer with a view to making a return.

But he has been offered a different, unspecified role at the club.

Manager Roberto di Matteo said: "Stiliyan is an inspiration to all of us. I have spoken to him and explained my thoughts and offered him the chance to remain at the club.

"Stiliyan is going to discuss this with his family before coming back to us."
