Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor is to undergo a minor groin operation on Monday and is expected to be out for at least two weeks.

The 23-year-old will, therefore, be unavailable for England's Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro on October 12.

Manager Gerard Houllier confirmed the news today ahead of Villa's Premier League clash at Tottenham tomorrow.
