We're not overseeing his rehab, he's doing it at Villa. He'll come here when he's fit and available to play.

In terms of a permanent deal; he's on £35k a week and he isn't going to get that here, so I expect him to see out that contract unless he goes elsewhere permanently before then, I just don't see that being here.

If we get promoted, I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of the deal that he comes back next season on loan, but even then Villa would likely have to subsidise his wages.
