Petrov, Milner doubts for Villa

Aston Villa have doubts over midfielder Stiliyan Petrov and winger James Milner for Sunday’s home clash against Middlesbrough.

Petrov has a hamstring strain that also ruled him out of Monday’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle and Thursday night’s UEFA Cup victory away to Slavia Prague while England Under-21 international Milner suffered a blow to his side against Newcastle.
