Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier concedes they may lose midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker at the end of the season.
Reo-Coker is tied to Villa until the end of the current campaign and Houllier says he will sit down with his representatives at the end of the month to iron out his future.
He told the Villa website: "I said to him and to his agent that we will have an assessment either at the end of February or the beginning of March.
"But I know also there are clubs after him because he is a free agent."
