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.

Personally I'd rather wait for an official announcement from Pravda than believe any speculative social media bullshit.

As is your right. But there's enough creditable journos reporting on it – so, as I said, that's the word doing the rounds.

If true then we really can't expect much improvement this season. Basically only Kamara as a new starter. I can only see a stop gap loan CH coming in. What an absolute nightmare for Carlos and the club who did wonders to get him.

Martin Laursen after 3 games, Luc Nilis after 3, Wesley, after he played a decent game, Tom Heaton in the same game, Carl Tiler. We do seem to get it bad. Hopefully Carlos isn't out for as long as being quoted but this is Villa.

Well said Rory! Leeg is younger than me which obviously means he's still in his prime.

Standard stuff. Laursen, Vlaar, Okore, Tuanzebe, Engels..?

Add this guy to the made of glass / instant injury / out for the season / probably we'll never see again list.

That’s terrible news for him and us. It’s a bad injury that was career ending years ago but he’ll be back thankfully. We really do have some unbelievable bad luck.
