Emile's injury

[tom jennings IV]

Any further news? This from Goal.com

Villa striker Emile Heskey played just a small part of the game after starting the match as he yielded to a hamstring problem. McLeish was disappointed to see the former Liverpool man come off after featuring in every game so far this season.

McLeish explained: “He’s pulled a hamstring, [we] don’t know how serious [the injury is], he’ll have a scan on Monday. It’s disappointing because he’s been involved in every game, he’s come through all the games really strong and after a two week break you’d feel that the fatigue will be gone and they’ll have recovered and he does his hammy [hamstring], but these things happen in football.”

I would never revel in a player's injury  but, (how did you know there was going to be a "but"?) if it forces AM to look at a different starting line-up, it may have come at a convenient time.

Hope its nothing too trivial.

[Karl Bridges]

Time for Bazza/Ireland to step up and make that place their own.

Obviously having Heskey playing in the role he has been isn't ideal, but I think the way screech et al were able to comfortably dominate the game against us for most of the time on Saturday shows that the lack of strength in our midfield is a problem.

I think AM was trying to address this when he signed Jenas. I can see him coming in for Delph when fit, making Mcleish more comfortable with leaving Heskey out and playing Bannan in a floating role behind Bent.

Double post div.

I would like to see Marc Albrighton come back into the side I think his cross for Gabby's goal showed we need that sort of service from the wings.

[UsualSuspect]

Out until middle of May

*fingers crossed*

Yes, let's hope a Villa player is seriously injured.

[Simon Ward]

Jenas out for up to two weeks possibly as well!

I couldn't give a toss about Heskey

Too old

Too shit

He's a multi millionaire

If he did have an injury for a year so what

He plays for the team you support. That's what.

We'd be making him even richer for doing nothing. He's useful player to have around, you're just too blinkered to see it.

There's shelves to put up and windows to clean. I'm not surprised he was knackered so soon on saturday after he lead the protest march at Goodison, that was him carrying the cake wasn't it?

I dont think he sees it Dave. 
As crap as I think Heskey is he is still a Villa player and to wish him out long term injured is just unbelievable.
