# 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.

### Read Aston Villa’s verdict

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.
