Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey has suffered a reoccurrence of the metatarsal injury that he sustained towards the end of last season.

The 22-year-old was ruled out for ten weeks after breaking the metatarsal bone in his left foot during England’s 1-0 victory over Portugal in the under-21 European Champions in July. A timeframe on his return is not known.

Ramsey scored his first goal since returning from injury during the 6-1 demolition of Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend but re-aggravated the injury during the win, and subsequently missed his side’s 1-0 victory over HSK Zrinjski in the Europa League last night. Earlier this week, Villa were awaiting for scans to determine the exact issue of the injury.

Villa manager Unai Emery said of the injury on Wednesday: “With Ramsey, we again are trying to check him in because he’s not available for tomorrow (against HSK Zrinjski).

“He had some pains after the match he played on Saturday and after he felt something against Chelsea, and he’s not available for tomorrow.

“We are checking him out. We’re going to wait at the end is the analysis of the doctor about him.”

Villa are next in action against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Sunday.
