How can Pires play for Villa today?

[epsomraver]

According to BBC he could start in the injury ravaged Villa side , how can this be?

I can only presume Villa did not name a full 25 man squad at the start of the season.  As a non contract player he can move to a new club but would not have been allowed to play for us say,  until January, as we have a 25 man squad named.

Good answer but would Villa not have named a 25 man squad the same as all clubs at the beginning of the season, I thought all clubs had to?

[Lighthouse]

Villa only named a 22 man squad for the first half of the season.

Thanks for shedding light on that Mr Beamer!

I think the Trevor Brooking standing order  N°3 comes into play here.

Mr Fox,
Is that above or below the Trevor Brooking standing order every team can name a squad of max 25 players, except West Ham who can sign and play any player they want to?
