He Was Trouble At St James' Park ... And Guess What?

The French winger, who was nothing but trouble during his time at St James' Park, was not included in the 18-man squad for Saturday's 1-0 home loss as punishment for missing a treatment session last week.

Charles N'Zogbia: "My mind is focused on preparing for the game on Saturday at Bolton and I will train hard, as normal.

"I have spoken to the manager, he has dealt with it and we have no problem.

"We are in this together, so we just move on. I will work hard to get back in the team.

"I want to show the fans of Aston Villa what I can do for them and for the team and that will be my objective on Saturday."
