12:12 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAston Villa manager Gerard Houllier is said to be “comfortable” in hospital, four days after being admitted suffering from chest pains.<\/p>\n
Villa’s owner Randy Lerner and chief executive Paul Faulkner have visited the 63-year-old Frenchman in hospital in Birmingham during the weekend.<\/p>\n
It was not known how long Houllier will have to remain in hospital.<\/p>\n
Assistant manager Gary McAllister was in charge for Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City at Villa Park.<\/p>\n
The former Leeds and Coventry boss will remain in the role in the absence of Houllier, who was admitted to hospital on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
McAllister, who played under him when he was manager of Liverpool, and Villa coaches Gordon Cowans, Rafa Gonzalez and Robert Duverne have also made hospital visits.<\/p>\n
Villa and Houllier will be guided by the specialist over when he is deemed fit enough to return to work.<\/p>\n
McAllister said: “The many messages of goodwill from fans and people in and out of the game underline the esteem in which Gerard is held.”<\/p>\n
Villa have four remaining matches in the Barclays Premier League this season against West Bromwich Albion, Wigan Athletic, Arsenal and Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
