PAUL LAMBERT insists there’s no problem with his former Aston Villa assistant Roy Keane.

The Villa boss said he remains big pals with the controversial Irishman despite rumours that he left because of training round unrest and rows with players.
Keane is also alleged to have made a ‘visit’ to on-loan England midfielder Tom Cleverley over who had leaked tales from the training ground.
Lambert said he had spoken to the player this morning and there was no problem.
He had also spoken to Keane on the phone and remained firm friends with the outspoken former Manchester United legend.

     

Lambert said: “I think if Roy took a strand from his beard it would be a story.
“Roy’s a good pal of mine and there’s no problem. I spoke to Tom for probably three seconds.
“He assured me that things hadn’t happened in the way they have been portrayed.”
He added: “Tom assured me there’s no problem. He’s perfectly relaxed about it. It’s finished.”
