Villa launching own investigation into Bannan arrest

Aston Villa are launching their own investigation into Barry Bannan's arrest.

The Scotland international, 21, was arrested by police on suspicion on drink driving - along with Shrewsbury striker James Collins, a former Villa player - and subsequently bailed.

Villa have launched the investigation and Bannan did not train with his team-mates on Monday.

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish said: "There are internal inquiries and an investigation going on and that's all I can really say at the moment.

"We felt it was best that he (Bannan) did not train with the team today."
