Aston Villa could potentially be without Mile Jedinak for the next three months due to a shoulder injury.

Plenty of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to react to the news that Steve Bruce delivered on Thursday that Mile Jedinak is set for a spell on the sidelines and could be out for up to three months, as reported by BBC Sport.

Jedinak has endured an extremely frustrating second season with the Villans, making just six appearances to date in the Championship, including just two starts.

One of those appearances came in the win over Ipswich Town last weekend, but he did not last long in the game, coming off during the first-half due to a shoulder injury.

And, as reported by BBC Sport, Bruce has now confirmed that the Australian should be back in around a month, but the recovery process could end up taking three months should he require surgery on the problem.

A number of the supporters who have taken to social media have expressed their disappointment at the fact that the 33-year-old may be out for a significant period of time, especially as his versatility and experience would have surely made him a valuable member of the squad as they continue to try and fight for promotion this season.

However, there were also a number of supporters who have now urged Bruce to seek a replacement for the former Crystal Palace man during the next transfer window as he has actually become too unreliable with the number of injuries he has suffered lately.
