Gareth Barry has returned to Aston Villa training after the club lifted the ban imposed on him for criticizing manager Martin O'Neill.

"The club can confirm that Gareth Barry will be back in training tomorrow (Wednesday)," the Premiership side said in a statement on their website.

Barry was banned by Villa for publicly saying that O'Neill was not doing enough to grant him his wish of joining Liverpool.

Liverpool have seen a succession of bids for Barry turned down by Villa board.

The Reds are yet to meet Villa's valuation of the player, which is estimated at around £17m plus Liverpool's full-back Steve Finnan.
