Nigel Reo-Coker is back in the Aston Villa Football Club squad.

The midfielder was omitted from the squads for the games against Portsmouth and Cardiff City over the past week, following a bust-up with Martin O’Neill.

However the Ulsterman has now revealed that Reo-Coker is back in his plans, and has taken a place in the squad for the weekend trip to Blackburn Rovers.

"He's in the squad for tomorrow, the squad of players travelling to Blackburn. It won't be easy, but Nigel is in the squad," O'Neill said on Sky Sports News.
