OU EST PASSE DJEMBA??
O'Leary waiting on Djemba-Djemba
Djemba-Djemba has played just four times for Villa this season
Aston Villa are still waiting for Eric Djemba-Djemba to report back for duty - five days after Cameroon's exit from the African Cup of Nations.
Villa boss David O'Leary wanted the midfielder available for Saturday's game with Newcastle as Gavin McCann and James Milner are unavailable.
"We've been trying to get in touch with his agent," said O'Leary.
"We know they had to return to Cameroon after getting knocked out. But we saw Geremi back at Chelsea on Wednesday."
O'Leary signed Djemba-Djemba for £1.35m from United 13 months ago but he has struggled to make an impact with Villa.
Djemba-Djemba recently accused O'Leary of "not understanding French-type players" - a comment angrily denied by the Villa chief.
O'Leary added: "We were hoping for him to be back and were pinning our hopes on him returning on Thursday."
