Dunne blow for Villa

Monday, 13/02/2012

Aston Villa could be without defender Richard Dunne for up to eight weeks.

The Republic of Ireland centre half broke his collar bone after falling awkwardly during the defeat to Manchester City yesterday.

Dunne, 32, is to undergo surgery and is not expected back until the end of April.

Defender Chris Herd is back in contention for a recall following an ankle injury which has kept him out for more than two months.
