Aston Villa have had a difficult start to the Championship season, which has not helped lift their hopes of Premier League promotion.

The Midlands outfit have managed to pick up just one point from their first three league games of the campaign.

The last two outings have ended in defeats, and Steve Bruce's side have scored just twice so far in the second tier.

The results have been a big contrast to a positive summer when the club recruited Chelsea legend John Terry.

Ahead of Villa's home match against Norwich City on Saturday, Bruce confirmed that Mile Jedinak is in contention to return from a groin injury this weekend.

The midfielder underwent minor surgery towards the end of last season to rectify the problem, and now looks set to get back on the pitch.

It is a welcome boost for the Villans, as the Birmingham Mail reports that the team have not won a Championship game without Jedinak since the start of last season.

As expected, the fans are relieved to hear that the midfielder is on his way back.
