Aston Villa received new bad news after confirming the absence of Belgian Youri Tielemans for about eight weeks, following an ankle injury that will keep him off the field in the coming period.

The injury to Tielemans deepens the team's suffering from a series of successive injuries, especially in the midfield, placing the coaching staff in front of a significant challenge to maintain technical balance in the upcoming phase.

Villa is already suffering from the long absence of Boubacar Kamara, whose season ended early due to a severe knee injury, which was a significant loss for the team in terms of physical strength and midfield presence.

Additionally, captain John McGinn is expected to be absent for approximately six weeks, further complicating the situation in the midfield and presenting Aston Villa with a tough test to compensate for these impactful absences.
