Villa confident Agbonlahor will be fit for Tottenham

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish is confident that Gabriel Agbonlahor will be fit to take on Tottenham this weekend.

The 25-year old striker withdrew from the England squad because of a hamstring injury but McLeish believes the timing of the Spurs match (Monday night) will give him enough time to recover.

"Gabby has not joined the group yet but we are hopeful he will be back towards the end of the week. I think he has got a chance for Tottenham," he told Express & Star.
