Ciaran Clark is struggling to make Aston Villa's trip to Arsenal on Sunday after getting injured in training.

The in-form centre-half missed today's session with an ankle problem as the rest of Paul Lambert's squad stepped up their preparations for the trip to the Emirates.

He will be assessed tomorrow.

Nathan Baker is on standby to replace Clark, although Villa's medics will also check on captain Ron Vlaar, who has been battling to recover from a knee injury.

Philippe Senderos is still out with calf trouble.

Villa will still be without Joe Cole, Libor Kozak. Cole is struggling with a hamstring injury and has been training away from the group as he recovers.

Kozak remains some way off a return and Villa have not yet put a date on his comeback.
