Aston Villa winger Andre Green has tweeted his dissatisfaction at having to watch from the stands during his spell out injured, but promised fans that he will be back in action “very soon”.

Green has been perhaps the leading emerging star at Villa Park over the last 12 months since making his senior debut for the club in March 2016.

After two substitute appearances in the final months of last season, the 18-year-old has played 15 times in all competitions so far this term, including four Championship starts.

However, the teenager has not played in nearly a month as a result of a hamstring injury sustained in the 2-0 win over Bristol City on the last day of February.

On Thursday evening, in a post on his official Twitter account, he admitted that it has been “very hard” watching his teammates’ efforts from the stands rather than playing a part.

However, he suggested that he will be back in action imminently, news which will go down well with Villa supporters.

Green tweeted: “It’s been very hard watching from the sidelines. Back very soon.”

Villa have not struggled in Green’s absence, winning three out of their four fixtures without the youngster, although he would likely have played at least a substitute role in most of those games.

That, perhaps, has only exacerbated the winger’s frustrations, and it will be a huge relief to both player and supporters, as well as manager Steve Bruce, if he is fit enough to return to action after the international break.
