Hitzlsperger back at Villa

Hitzlsperger has been in good form for Chesterfield

Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger has been recalled from his loan spell with Chesterfield.

The German was in his second month at Saltergate and has impressed Spireites boss Nicky Law.

But with injuries mounting at Villa and David Ginola starting a minimum three-match ban next Monday, Hitzlsperger has been called back to Villa Park.
