Delaney faces nervous wait

The Wales defender sustained the setback in the opening minutes of the 1-1 draw after a clash with Joey Barton and had to be substituted at half-time. "It's too early to tell, but I'm feeling more positive than I was immediately after the game," said the 29-year-old. "My gut reaction is this isn't a major setback. I'll see what the scan shows." It is an untimely blow for a player whose very Villa Park future is on the line with many predicting an end to his seven-year spell in the summer.
