Agbonlahor back for Villa

30 November 2010 15:00
Gabriel Agbonlahor will return to the Aston Villa side for the Carling Cup quarter-final clash with Birmingham at St Andrews. The striker missed the 4-2 defeat by Arsenal on Saturday with an illness but has recovered and will be in contention for the Second City derby. Defender James Collins is fit after a knock but midfielder Stephen Ireland has a sickness bug of his own and will not play. Youngster Marc Albrighton is missing after having his appendix out and Nigel Reo-Coker, Steve Sidwell, Emile Heskey and Stiliyan Petrov remain sidelined.
