Aston Villa currently have eight first-team players sidelined with injury.
Steve Bruce has admitted to Aston Villa’s official website that everyone at the club is frustrated about the sizeable injury crisis that they are suffering.
Villa have a number of members of their first-team squad on the treatment table at the moment.
The likes of Scott Hogan, Birkir Bjarnason and Gabriel Agbonlahor are all currently out with injury.
Alan Hutton has also recently picked up a knee complain, which adds to Villa’s injury woes.
And Bruce said: “He was out with a knee injury, which hasn’t helped us.
“I don’t want to make excuses but we were missing eight first team players.
“That’s a frustration for us all.”
Villa were beaten 1-0 by promotion chasing Huddersfield Town last night, but their performance was still encouraging in parts.
The claret and blues generally competed well against Huddersfield, but failed to take their chances when they came their way.
Despite the defeat to the Terriers, Villa have still been in good form of late, after winning their previous three matches in succession.
Villa are currently in 15th place in the Championship table, with their next match coming against Sheffield Wednesday.
