Villa winger Albrighton confident he can make up for lost time

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton doesn't feel the game is passing him by after two years of injury woes.

Albrighton, speaking to promote Just Play, a scheme set up by Mars and The FA to get more adults into football, doesn't think so.

He told the Daily Mail: "Someone like Raheem Sterling has had a fantastic start with Liverpool and getting his just deserves. Alex [Oxlade-Chamberlain], too, is progressing great.

"Yes, I've been held back and that could have been me. But I've got plenty of years left in me and it starts now, putting in a good season and perhaps that notice might come.

"Maybe there is annoyance. But I'm only 22, so hopefully I can progress in the next few years."
