Agbonlahor joins injury list

Aston Villa's leading scorer Gabriel Agbonlahor has joined skipper Stiliyan Petrov in being a fitness doubt for Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Petrov suffered an ankle injury in a challenge by Manchester United's Nani which saw the midfielder sent off. Villa boss Martin O'Neill has now revealed Agbonlahor also sustained a leg injury during the closing stages of the 1-1 draw, even though he was able to complete 90 minutes. O'Neill said: "We do have a few injury problems. Petrov will be a doubt for Sunday and he would have no chance if the game had been due to be played today. "Gabby would be in the same boat. He hurt himself towards the end of the United game. He went down injured, stayed on, but is very sore."
