Aston Villa injury news as Steven Gerrard provides Lucas Digne update after Tottenham blow
Aston Villa suffered another huge injury setback in the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, as Lucas Digne was forced off in the 79th minute.
The injury set back is one of many issues now facing Steven Gerrard, as he witnessed his side lose their fourth Premier League game in a row in front of a packed out Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.
Villa currently sit 12th in the league and face a tough challenge in their next fixture against Leicester City, who sit in 10th place just one point ahead of Gerrard's side. The game will be played on April 23 and Villa will have to manage without Digne for this fixture, as the Villa boss gave the following update.
: Collarbone.
: TBD.
: Digne had to be replaced by Ashley Young in the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham after going down with an injury to what looked like his shoulder. He then hobbled down the touchline with his arm in a makeshift sling using his shirt.
: "I'm concerned and worried about it because he's in a sling right now. We've got a collarbone issue rather than a shoulder issue. If it's what we fear, it could be season over."
: Knee.
: Nakamba is returning to fitness from a knee injury sustained against Liverpool in December but did make a return to the match day squad in yesterday's defeat to Tottenham.
: "Hopefully he comes through that, recovers well and then he can be back with the group. He's been back training fully for ten, 12 days and he’s smiling, getting closer and closer."
