Carew boost for Villa

05 February 2010 09:39
Aston Villa are set to be boosted by the return of striker John Carew for the trip to Tottenham. The Norway international, who has missed the last four games with a knee injury, has been back in training this week and manager Martin O'Neill hopes to have him available at White Hart Lane. Stephen Warnock is continuing to struggle with the shin injury he picked up during the FA Cup victory against Brighton last month. He is facing a race against time to be fit for the Carling Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley on February 28. Captain Stiliyan Petrov retains his place in the side despite still being troubled by an Achilles problem.
