Curtis Davies eyes comeback

Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies has already starting eyeing his comeback from surgery after an injury picked up earlier ruled him out for the last few months of the Premiership season.

"I believe I can be back before September - whether it is with a few weeks training in August and then playing or whether that is playing at the end of September after training in early September,” Davies told Sky Sports.

"I am very confident the rehab is going well - the surgeon is happy, the doctor is very happy so everyone is given me the right signs to stay confident. I am going to work really hard over the summer and come back stronger and fitter."
