Dunne, Milner, Heskey and Agbonlahor all doubts for Villa

Aston Villa have doubts over central defender Richard Dunne, midfielder James Milner and strikers Emile Heskey and Gabriel Agbonlahor for tomorrow’s trip to Chelsea.

The first three all have Achilles problems, while Agbonlahor has a foot injury.

Dunne managed 90 minutes against Sunderland on Wednesday but he has struggled with the problem for the last two games.

Milner and Heskey were both forced off during the 1-1 draw and a late decision will be made on their availability.

Agbonlahor has missed the last two games with the foot injury he picked up in training but hopes to be available.

Manager Martin O’Neill has ruled out finalising his side until the eve of the game but has hinted there could be changes.

Provisional squad: Friedel, Cuellar, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Luke Young, Downing, Milner, Petrov, Ashley Young, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Carew, Sidwell, Delfouneso, Albrighton, Salifou, Davies, Delph, Clark, Beye, Guzan.
