Jer timing could not be better!

-

ALEX MCLEISH has revealed that Jermaine Jenas could make a shock return to boost Aston Villa’s Premier League survival big.

And Charles N’zogbia is also poised for a swift comeback in the crunch clash at Liverpool.

Mcleish is desperate for experience­d players as he battles the drop and claims Jenas may play before the end of the season.

The 29-year-old, who is on loan from Spurs, was ruled out for the rest of the campaign with an Achilles injury in December.

But Mcleish said: “I can’t rule out if he is going to be available.

“The doctor keeps in touch with Spurs as he’s getting his treatment down there.

“With Charles I was hoping maybe we could rush him back for this week. That would be a massive bonus.

“They thought three to six weeks but he has healed quickly.”
