Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish is pleased with what he's seeing in training.

N'Zogbia has failed to command a regular starting role and clashed with Villa boss McLeish.

McLeish said: "Charles has looked much sharper, having been out for a few weeks before.

"He had a great session on Tuesday, he looked on fire. As sharp as I'd seen him.

"So hopefully he can come back and stake his claim. It is never too late."
