Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew wants to be sure of Yohan Cabaye's commitment before recalling him.
Cabaye, 27, was booed by a section of supporters before and during his substitute appearance for Newcastle last Saturday in a 1-0 home win over Fulham.
Pardew said: "It was important to get him out there (the pitch) on Saturday, it will make it easier to move on although there is a lot of talking to be done between now and Aston Villa.
"We will speak with Yohan and with his representatives to make sure that we go forward hand-in-hand."
