Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey could well be facing up to six weeks out after picking up an injury in the 4-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday.
That’s according to reliable reporter Ashley Preece, and, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been giving their thoughts to the latest setback on social media.
Ramsey’s ninth Premier League appearance of the campaign was cut short after 15 minutes against the Hammers, with the 20-year-old appearing to go over on his ankle after colliding with Tomas Soucek.
Danny Ings, Douglas Luiz, Morgan Sanson, Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Bertrand Traore all missed the meeting with David Moyes’ side, and Ramsey is the latest to join them on the sidelines ahead of the trip to Southampton on Friday.
Villa fans react
Preece posted the estimated six-week time frame regarding Ramsey on Twitter on Monday lunchtime.
The AVFC Faithful shared Preece’s update, which led to these fans interacting with both posts, with one labelling it as ‘more injury worries’.

“Remember over the summer when everyone could see central midfield was a weak area for us and needed improving? And we just chucked in low ball bids for players. Now we have Ramsey out, Luiz potentially out and Sanson who’s never fit. Top work lads”
