Cuellar back to boost Villa for Wolves derby

Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar says he's fit for the derby against Wolves.

Cuellar has been sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring injury.

But his availability for the meeting with Mick McCarthy's side could not be better timed as Villa are without some key defenders.

Richard Dunne is out with a dislocated shoulder and Ciaran Clark is suspended.

There are also doubts over James Collins, who has a calf problem, and knee-injury victim Luke Young.

Cuellar said: "It's been frustrating because I have been out injured for some time. I've really wanted to help but not been able to. But the most important thing is I am fit, feel really good and I am ready to go.

"I am 100 per cent fit now and raring to play.

"I might have an opportunity to play because of injuries and suspensions and I will do my very best for Villa. I can't wait to contribute. I am ready."
