Martin O’Neill has explained the Lee Hendrie situation on Sky Sports. He told them of the Villa midfielder who recently returned from a loan spell at the Potters:

‘Obviously I think Stoke would want him to come back but I want to speak to Lee. Last week he was in getting treatment and I spoke to him for a moment or two. But I’d rather have a more lengthy conversation. He is match fit and I’m sure that Lee’s heart is at Aston Villa. If he thought that there was an opportunity to try and get back in the side then I’m sure he would to try and have a go.’

Adding: ‘He has six months left on his contract, he has got his testimonial – not that that is having any bearing on his decision whatsoever – and ideally it would be great for him to be at Aston Villa when his testimonial comes around.’

Lee said last week: “I don’t know what’s happening at the moment but I’ve enjoyed my spell at Stoke and would love to stay here. There is talk about another loan until the end of the season and there has also been interest from one or two others. The Stoke supporters have been amazing. They deserve a lot of credit for helping the team put together a great run.”
