Aston Villa fans have been gutted after confirmation of an injury to Leon Bailey.

Villa head coach Dean Smith has explained when he expects Bailey to return after the Jamaica international suffered a quad injury in the 3-0 loss to Everton on Saturday.

Bailey suffered a quad injury after coming on as a second-half substitute and a hectic 21 minutes – in which he scored one goal and contributed another – before leaving Ashley Young with eight minutes left. to play.

He missed the trip to Chelsea during the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night and is now ready to sit on the sidelines for a while.

Bailey will be out until at least the Wolverhampton Wanderers clash on October 16 after the next international break, meaning he will miss the Premier League games against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

“Leon has a tension that will likely keep him sidelined until after the international break,” Smith told club media.

“We hope he will be available for the Wolves game, but we’ll have to assess him sooner and see how he progresses over the next ten days.”

Villa fans had their say in the update, with supporters faltering after a heavy blow.

“It looks like we won’t have to worry about how Dean gets all of our attacking players into the roster for a few weeks,” a fan said on social media.

“The only thing that’s going to stop us this season is the injuries, we literally can’t take a break,” added another.

A third fan said: “Just as we were starting to build a great team”, while another added: “It’s a real shame and the bad luck with the injuries continues, but we have depth. and look forward to their return when they are ready. “

“Who would have ever seen this coming?” Asked a fifth supporter.
