Angel is being treated for an infection he picked up after undergoing minor surgery on a knee injury sustained while away on international duty with Colombia and first thoughts were that the Villa's top scorer last season may have to delay returning for pre-season training.
However, manager David O'Leary has told the clubs official website: "“We’ve been in regular contact with Juan and obviously it’s great news that he’s on the mend.
“He’s looking forward to finally being able to spend some time with his family before returning for pre-season training with the squad.
“He’s told me he’s now looking forward to returning next month and getting ready for the new season.”
