A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that Keinan Davis is set to be sidelined for around three to four weeks.

The 21-year-old made his first start at Villa Park since January 2018 when he was named by Dean Smith in the XI to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the midweek League Cup clash.

Davis put in a tidy display in claret and blue but pulled up with a hamstring injury and was applauded off by the home crowd before being replaced by Jonathan Kodjia in the 49th minute.

The Villa academy graduate has suffered several injuries during his Villa career and, ahead of the weekend Premier League meeting with Liverpool, the Villans’ Twitter feed issued a fitness update which confirmed the bad news.

Several fans on social media bemoaned Davis’ bad luck and wished him all the best in his recovery:

Davis has four goals in 53 appearances in all competitions for Villa, which includes nine outings this term and a goal away to Crewe (Birmingham Mail).

Dean Smith’s side could go unbeaten in five successive Premier League home matches for the first time since November 2014 to January 2015 should they get a result against the Reds.
