Aston Villa fans react as Wesley comes off injured against Burnley

Wesley may have gotten on the scoresheet for Villa against Burnley, but that will not be the biggest talking point from the game.

The Brazilian came off injured with what looks to be a serious knock, with Dean Smith revealing after the game that they will have to assess the injury.

Villa won 2-1 at Turf Moor, with Jack Grealish scoring the only other goal of the game for Aston Villa.

Several Villa fans have taken to Twitter to voice their concerns about the potential injury to their Brazilian forward.

Losing Wesley would seemingly force Villa to go out and get another striker in the January window.

Villa can’t afford to just have two strikers fit at the club, especially with neither of their current forward having any Premier League experience.

This could rapidly change Dean Smith’s plans.
