Milner a doubt for Villa

James Milner is Aston Villa’s most significant new fitness doubt for the Premiership clash with Fulham.

The England Under-21 player limped out of yesterday’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Everton at Villa Park early in the second half with a hamstring injury. Eirik Bakke is favourite to replace Milner, if he is ruled out, as Lee Hendrie is still out of action with an Achilles problem.
