The agent of Curtis Davies admits they're disappointed that Aston Villa are yet to open new contract talks.

"It is slightly disappointing given the circumstances of Curtis' injury and the fact he played on when the club were low on numbers," his agent Phil Sproson told the Daily Mirror.

"We hoped it could be sorted sooner rather than having to wait for Curtis to play his allocation of games.

"But it's the club's prerogative and we respect Martin's decision.

"We'll have to look at the situation in January when Curtis is available and plays two more games."
