# Adama Traore set for stint on the sidelines

[It seems that after an immense display against Notts County last night, Adama Traore’s substitution from was forced due to injury.](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villas-adama-traore-tim-9928716)

Talking to the media after the game, Tim Sherwood had this to say on Traore’s injury: “The negative is that Adama got injured”

“It doesn’t look good to be honest. He took a heavy knock – it was a bad tackle”

Adama Traore has got off to life at Villa Park very well, forcing an own goal out of Crystal Palace on the weekend with a powerful darting run.

He followed up that in the 2nd Round of the Capital One Cup with a goal against Notts County thanks to great work by Jack Grealish.

Sherwood continued “The only way to stop him at the minute is to kick him. He’s a marked man. He will have to get used to it.”
