Achilles?
On 6 August, he made his debut for the club in the Premier league in 2-0 away loss against Bournemouth. [22] Confirmed being out for the rest of his first season after only 2 unflattering appearances has left Villa fans asking questions whether he is out of depth in the Premier League. He has come under scrutiny of his lacklustre performances, and being caught out of position on defensive set pieces, with rumours speculating his regret in joining the Birmingham outfit and already planning an exit at the end of the season.
Word doing the rounds is a ruptured achilles. 6-9 months recovery time, longer to get to match fitness. And no guarantee that he'll ever get that far.
