O’Neill hits out at Capello for starting Heskey against Spain

ASTON VILLA boss Martin O’Neill is to make his feelings known to England counterpart Fabio Capello after expressing surprise at striker Emile Heskey starting the friendly international with Spain when not fully fit.

Heskey suffered an achilles injury during the win at Blackburn last weekend but was declared fit enough by the England medical staff to play after reporting for Wednesday’s game in Seville.

The former Wigan player suffered a reaction and has been unable to train since returning to Villa and is regarded as a major doubt for tomorrow’s FA Cup clash with Everton at Goodison Park.
