O'Neill waiting on Liverpool

Last updated : 16 July 2008 By Adam Bryant
The Aston Villa boss has tried to dig his heels in and refuse to let the club captain sign for Liverpool, but he is finally admitting defeat.

Barry is due to return to pre-season training today after a two-week suspension for speaking out against his manager.

"I haven't heard any more," said O'Neill. "We should be in communication with Liverpool, but he is coming back."

The Daily Mail are however suggesting that Arsenal may enter the race for the England international, after losing Gilberto to Panathinaikos.
