Villa midfielder will be out until at least March

Dean Smith has told the club’s official website that Henri Lansbury will not be available to play for another four or five weeks. 

The 28-year-old has already missed a large chunk of the season due to a hamstring injury that he picked up in the 4-2 over Birmingham City back in November, and it looks like he has picked up the same injury once again, meaning he won’t be available for action until early March. 

This news probably won’t go down too well with the Villa fans as many are already calling for him to be sold as he is costing the club 200k in wages every month. 

Villa signed the former Nottingham Forest captain for £3 million in January 2017, and in two years at the club he has gone on to make just 29 appearances. Furthermore, when he has played, more often than not, he has failed to impress.
