Stephen Ireland<\/a> will undergo a scan on a hamstring injury picked up in a friendly with Walsall but will still travel with Aston Villa<\/a> to Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Villa won the contest 3-1 but Ireland lasted only 35 minutes before pulling up and will now undergo tests to reveal the severity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Villans will travel to Asia to continue their pre-season campaign and McLeish hopes Ireland will be able to be involved as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He was very involved in most of the moves in the first half,” McLeish told the Birmingham Mail<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He had a little bit of a sore hamstring so he was maybe over doing it a little bit on the training ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ll have to be careful with him because, in terms of playing games, he’s not played a lot in the last couple of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We need to really watch Stevie and keep the reins on him.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’ll probably get a scan, but he’ll still come to Hong Kong.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The midfielder failed to make an impression last season under Gerard Houllier but will be hoping to impress new manager McLeish, who added that the club are hoping for the best from the injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s doing extra work at the training ground and obviously when players show that kind of enthusiasm it’s hard to hold them back,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But we hope that it’s just a little nick and not a tear.”<\/span><\/p>\n
