Alpay talks to resume

Last updated : 17 October 2003 By Paul Doherty

O'Leary had talks with the Turkish interntional defender, following his much-publicised fall-out with England captain David Beckham, earlier this week and he was given extra leave by the Villa boss.

"Alpay will come back in after the weekend and we'll have a chat with him on Tuesday," said O'Leary.

"I just felt I had more priorities to deal with at this stage, like looking forward to the game on Sunday.

"That issue has been put to bed until after the game. I thought I'd let it die down and then have a proper chat with the player on Tuesday.

"That's all I'm going to say on this matter now."
