Villa's Osbourne back in action after arrest

Aston Villa midfielder Isaiah Osbourne was back in action last night.

The Birmingham Mail says Osbourne was back in claret and blue playing for his club last night just days after his arrest by police investigating allegations of conspiracy to rob.

The 21-year-old star played 90 minutes for Martin O'Neill's reserve side in a 1-1 draw against Wolves at Villa Park in the Pontins League clash.

Osbourne, who made a confident contribution to the game, showed no ill effects of the last few days since his arrest last Friday at Villa's training ground.

West Midlands Police questioned the Birmingham-born star as part of an inquiry into an alleged car con and he has been bailed pending further inquiries.
