Aston Villa could welcome Keinan Davis back to first-team action soon.

Aston Villa need a boost right now – and under-fire boss Steve Bruce may have been handed one with the return of striker Keinan Davis.

Villa lost 2-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon, and that defeat has increased the pressure on Bruce after a tough start to the campaign.

With just three wins in the first nine games and only one win in the last seven, Villa have made a disappointing start to the season, and fan dissatisfaction is growing by the game.

Villa take on Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Friday night, and Bruce has been handed a major boost ahead of the trip to the West Country.

Striker Keinan Davis has been out for six months now, with The Express and Star reporting that a rare inflammation of his pubic bone has been keeping him on the sidelines.

Davis, 20, showed real potential as a target man last season, attracting Premier League interest off the back of his displays in claret and blue having joined from non-league Biggleswade Town in 2015.

Now, Davis is back in training as photos showed him in action, giving Bruce another striking option alongside the likes of Jonathan Kodjia and Tammy Abraham.
