Villa boosted by duo return

Aston Villa, 14:36, November 16, 2009 ,

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has revealed both James Collins and Emile Heskey could be fit for this weekend's trip to Burnley.

Collins and Heskey were both forced to sit out the 5-1 drubbing of Bolton last time out with groin and back injuries respectively but the international break appears to have done the trick and the duo could return at Turf Moor.
O'Neill is confident the two-week break will have helped the duo but will monitor their fitness in the build up to the Clarets clash.
"The medical staff are quite happy with the progress they are making," he said. "They still have quite a number of days before we are back in action."
Habib Beye and captain Stiliyan Petrov will also be available after serving one-game bans against the Trotters.
