Aston Villa midfielder Emi Buendia has begun training.

The Argentina international is recovering from an ACL injury.

He is now working with the ball on the Bodymoor Heath pitches individually. Buendia suffered the injury in preseason.

He said in January: "The greatest moment of satisfaction I have felt in all these months? There are many, but I will stick with a recent one. I went to the doctor's office and saw that my knee moved like a normal knee.

"I didn't feel any kind of discomfort. It was one more step in that return to normality."
