N'Zogbia to see Knee specialist in Paris
« on: March 24, 2012, 11:06:40 PM »
Worrying news if true, I was really hoping that we'd have him back for the Chelsea game. Does anyone fancy taking a stab at when he'd play again?

"Alex McLeish has confirmed Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia is to visit a specialist after suffering a knee injury in training.

The 25-year-old missed Villa's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday after picking up the knock two days earlier and he is set to travel to Paris for an assessment.

N'Zogbia has endured a difficult debut season at Villa, but McLeish has been pleased with the former Wigan wide-man's form in recent weeks.

"The long-term diagnosis is that Charles is going to go to Paris to see a specialist," McLeish told the club's official website. "The doctor is taking him and they will look at the knee.

"He has got a ligament strain from a clash of knees with Gary Gardner in training two days ago.

"It was a blow to lose Charles. He was in decent form and getting better with every game.""

He'll be telling the specialist he 'kneed's a new club.

Being as he 'almost' played today, anyone think he'll be around for the Chelsea game then?

Ah, a 'specialist' in 'Paris'.

I wonder if he got the contact number from a business card left in a phone box.

His knees can't be as bad as mine. I've only got to go to Solihull to get mine sorted.

Frankly, he has been so poor for the money paid he could only get better. The `improvement` had been marginal at best.
Typical statement summing up this entire season, desperately clutching at straws when a tiny bit of half decent football fleetingly appears for a few brief moments.

He has been getting better with every game though, well the ones he's been allowed to start in.

I think he's mentally gone - he does not seem to have the taste for a career at Villa.
