Reo-Coker close to return

01 December 2010 12:00
Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker could be back in action within the next fortnight. Reo-Coker has been able to undertake some running after missing Villa's last four matches with a knee problem. The former England Under-21 captain had been made Villa's temporary skipper by Gerard Houllier in the absence of Stiliyan Petrov. But he has not played since the league clash at Fulham on November 6 and the armband has since been worn by defender Richard Dunne. Houllier confirmed: "Nigel has done some running. Maybe in two weeks, he'll be back."
