Houllier insists Newcastle signing Ireland can still have Villa future

Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier insists Stephen Ireland still has a future at Villa Park.

Houllier says Ireland can return to Aston Villa after completing a loan move to Newcastle United.

Houllier said: "Stephen was unlucky with injuries. The door remains open for him as an Aston Villa player."
