Alan Hutton could return for the weekend clash with Everton - but the Toffees game comes too soon for Gabby Agbonlahor.Hutton has been out with an ankle injury since coming off early in the Man Utd match at Old Trafford.His foot was placed in a protective boot - but now the right-back is back in training ahead of the latest Villa Park encounter.Hutton returned to the fields of Bodymoor on Wednesday, trained on Thursday too and will also be put through his paces on Friday on the eve of the game.Then Sherwood will make a decision on his fitness ahead of the game with Roberto Martinez's men.He said: "Alan is back in training, which is good news for us."He has trained the latter part of the week. He will train again on Friday."We will assess him again on Friday."On his availability, he added: "We're hoping Alan puts himself in contention, yes."The Toffees tussle won't see the return of star striker Agbonlahor, however.The long-serving forward came off against Tottenham with a tight hamstring.He missed the FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool at Wembley and the narrow defeat to Man City at the Etihad Stadium.Agbonlahor looks set to be absent against Everton but could be available against West Ham next weekend.He added: "Gabby is still not training."He's done some light work. We are hoping to have him back in full training at the beginning of next week though."

Don't you just love the way a Villa player can be touch and go for one game but still not fit a fortnight later?
Jack doing a Morley will do me.

I can't remember him actually having a shot despite being in fantastic positions to take one.I just hope we don't get bullied by Everton in the same way we did by Stoke. They're a very physical side and will certainly fancy their chances to at least get a point, if not all 3. Massive game, we'll really need to be at our best and take whatever chances we get.
