Aston Villa fans react as Matt Targett and Anwar El Ghazi exit with injuries

Aston Villa fans are concerned after the club suffered a double injury blow in the draw with Burnley.

Both Matt Targett and Anwar El Ghazi had to go off with knocks as Villa drew 2-2 with the Clarets at Villa Park.

The pair going off concerned a lot of Villa fans, especially after Targett went off, with Neil Taylor being very ineffective.

Villa fans will be hoping that the injury isn’t that serious for Targett, especially as the defender has only just recovered from a knock.

Neil Taylor was incredibly ineffective when he came on, and Villa fans were furious with the defender’s play in the build-up to the equaliser.

Targett will be almost required if Villa are to get the three points next week, especially with a big trip to Carrow Road and Norwich City.

matchday.
