Rules force Cole out against Chelsea
Aston Villa are without striker Carlton Cole for tomorrow’s Villa Park clash against Chelsea.
Cole, who has scored twice for Villa this season, is on loan from Chelsea and Premiership rules prevent him facing his parent club.
He will be replaced by Colombian international Juan Pablo Angel who will make his first start of the season.
Angel had knee surgery in the summer which has restricted him to three appearances as a substitute.
Villa also hope to be able to recall central defender Martin Laursen. The Danish international missed the last game against Newcastle with a knee injury.
Team (from): Sorensen, Postma, De La Cruz, Delaney, Mellberg, Laursen, Samuel, Hendrie, Solano, McCann, Hitzlsperger, Berson, Barry, Vassell, Angel, L Moore.
