Danny Drinkwater has completed his loan move from Chelsea to Aston Villa until the end of the season.
The Premier League winner with Leicester returned to Chelsea following his loan spell at Burnley during the first half of the season.
The 29-year-old made two appearances for Burnley following his temporary switch in August, with his time at Turf Moor disrupted by injuries.
He featured in a Carabao Cup defeat to Sunderland a few weeks after his move, as well as a Premier League encounter with Manchester City at the start of last month.

Villa boss Dean Smith needs reinforcements in midfielder with John McGinn set for three months on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in December.
The move to Villa Park offers Drinkwater another chance in the top flight because he didn't play in the Premier League with Chelsea last season and only made a total of 23 appearances since joining in 2017.
He impressed when Leicester City won the Premier League in 2015/16 and it led to him earning three England caps.
