Petrov sets his sights on playing again

Former Aston Villa midfielder Stiliyan Petrov believes he could return to play for the relegated Premier League side after winning his battle with cancer.

The 35-year-old, who played 105 times for Bulgaria, has returned to training with the midlands club after winning his battle against leukaemia.

Petrov, who also played for Celtic, has been coaching and training at Villa but believes the club will need to appoint a new manager before he could be considered for a playing role.
