Aston Villa are sweating over the fitness
of Andreas Weimann, with the striker
suffering a hip injury just a month
ahead of the new season.
The 21-year-old Austria international
limped off in their match against
Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday after
sustaining the knock in a crunching
tackle.
Following a meeting with a club doctor on Sunday, it is thought that he will spend up
to a fortnight on the sidelines as Villa continue their pre-season preparations.
"He’s got a sore one, so I need to see how that goes. It’s a sore back and a sore
hip," manager Paul Lambert told The Birmingham Mail.
“Hopefully he’ll be okay in – I don’t know how long – in the next few weeks or so.”
The injury comes as a big blow to the Premier League side with Weimann standing
out in their previous campaign, scoring seven goals in 30 appearances.
