Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton has admitted that it is "frustrating" not to be playing for the first team.
The 27-year-old right-back was told that he is not part of Paul Lambert's plans for the 2012-13 season, with Villa trying to sell him in the summer transfer window without success.
"It's frustrating," the Daily Star quotes him as saying.
"As a footballer, it is the worst situation to be in, sitting and not getting the chance to play.
"It's hard to take. Hopefully I can push my way back in."
Hutton joined Villa from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2011.
