Diego Carlos

[Brend'Watkins]

Ivo Stass all over again.

[ChicagoLion]

We all know that’s the last time we’re seeing him play in a Villa shirt right

Depends, probably  not this season

[Dave P]

Gutted for him as he looked good on Saturday. The only 'positive' is that the window is still open. Hopefully a replacement can be found. Let's hope it doesn't come at the expense of any other targets.

And that's the point.  Our defensive cover is still good enough imo so it shouldn't detract from any other targets.  The only transfer decision to make now is not letting Hause go.

[Aldridge Villa]

Rotten luck for us and even more so for him. Wishing you a successful recovery Diego.

[Axl Rose]

Shit news for the big man, and us.

Get well soon!

I think it’s a definitely isn’t it? Real shame for the Guy

I don't agree with this. Gerrard obviously wasn't happy with the three options we had, otherwise he wouldn't have spent that much on Carlos. Konsa was mostly shit last year, and he was shit against Bournemouth.

Mings, Konsa and Hause are a car crash set of defenders.
We're now down to just Chambers who is any good.
If we don't get another centre half in we'll concede so many goals.
Worried for us if truth be told.

Konsa was rotten v Bournemouth (Carlos was worse I thought) but less than a year ago we were all saying it was laughable he wasn't in the England squad. Centre back isn't really a position you need to rotate too much. If Hause leaves then fine, we need another option.

Yep. After 18 months or so he'll go out on loan to gain fitness and that will be that. Some club might take a punt on him for a couple million if we're lucky.

They were all rotton V Bournemouth. Konsa hasn't suddenly become a bad player and that's the end of it.  He's hit a bad bit of form but will come good again and playing alongside Mings we have as steady a central pairing as there is apart from a handful of clubs. Even if there's a dip in form we have Chambers ready to step in.

[olaftab]

Terrible news for the big lad especially as he also misses (possible) world cup  this winter. Get well soon Diego.

[maidstonevillain]

I didnt see what happened, but it seems the injury event was rather innocuous. This is a 29 year old player who has played in the top leagues without apparent problem for a number of years. Together with our recent injury history, this does start to raise nagging doubts re our training regimes.

It's all about opinions I suppose but those three are not car crash defenders at all.  They may have their individual faults but describing them as car crash is way over the top.

Could this be the opportunity for Feeney to step up to the regular squad?
He looked calm, assured and comfortable on the ball in pre-season.
I know it may be a little early, but sometimes a young player thrives on an unexpected opportunity.
2 from 5. Mings, Konsa, Hause, Chambers, Feeney
