There is a saying that every cloud has a silver lining. Sometimes it may be difficult to find, however it is usually always there. For the injury list at Aston Villa continues to mount, fans might be forgiven for worrying concerning the upcoming fixtures. However, there is a refreshing air of optimism around the club thanks to the emergence of the latest generation of stars.
As of this moment, Aston Villa are without 14 players who could realistically be considered for a place inside squad of 18. Within the midfield, these are missing club captain, Stiliyan Petrov, who is set to miss at the very least three months with a knee ligament injury. In addition, vice-captain Nigel Reo-Coker is out for around three weeks, Steve Sidwell has recently undergone surgery on a troublesome achilles tendon, Fabian Delph continues to be missing after tearing his cruciate ligament last season, as is promising youngster Gary Gardner. In attack, Emile Heskey and John Carew are both missing, whilst Gabriel Agbonlahor made his return last weekend against Manchester United, but has withdrawn through the England squad through injury. Hopefully this is only a precaution, however it remains to be seen.
Finally, Andreas Weimann, who made his Premiership debut in the season-opener against West Ham have been missing since August with ankle ligament damage.
