“But that’s football. It is down to us to finish strongly then hopefully people can look back and say that it was a good season.

Gabby Agbonlahor is having treatment on a hamstring injury after pulling out of the England Under-21 squad, while Emile Heskey is also back at Villa having pulled out of England’s match against Ukraine on Wednesday with a hamstring injury.
