Kyle Walker returns to Villa squad

Villa defender Kyle Walker will be included in the squad for their Premier League clash with Wigan after he returned to training today.

The 20-year-old missed the claret and blues win over Manchester City with a slight back problem and Carlos Cuellar deputised at right-back.

But manager Gerard Houllier confirmed the on-loan Tottenham full-back will be available to face Wigan.

Houllier said: “Kyle trained today and he will travel. Apart from Fabian Delph, who we are easing back slowly, and Luke Young who has a little problem with his knee, we are almost at full strength.

“Stephen Ireland still has a slight knee problem, while Stephen Warnock will not play but that is a football decision at this moment.”
