(Reuters) - Aston Villa's club captain Gabriel Agbonlahor will miss the next two weeks of the season while he works on his fitness levels, caretaker manager Eric Black has said.

The 29-year-old was dropped for the 4-0 defeat by Chelsea on April 2 after pictures emerged of him apparently smoking a shisha pipe but an investigation by the Premier League's bottom club resulted in no further punishment.
