Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce addressed the media today for his pre-match press conference, ahead of his side’s trip to Ipswich Town tomorrow, and delivered a concerning update on the currently injured Keinan Davis, as quoted by the Birmingham Mail.

The Villans have begun their 2018/19 campaign in fine fashion, winning both Championship games, and safely securing their passage into the next round of the Carabao Cup, although Bruce has somewhat of an injury crisis on his hands.

Jonathan Kodjia is currently the only fit centre-forward at Villa Park, so Bruce will be praying that the Ivorian remains fit over the next few weeks.

The Aston Villa boss spoke to reporters today, and delivered a worrying update on one of his players who is currently unavailable for selection, as quoted by the Birmingham Mail:

Keinan Davis and John Terry of Aston Villa applaud the fans after the Sky Bet Championship match between Preston North End and Aston Villa at Deepdale on November 1, 2017 in Preston,...

“Keinan is becoming a worry. It’s a shame on the kid. He’s been blighted now since last March with this injury. He takes two steps forward and one step backwards at the moment which is upsetting for us all.”

Davis was used regularly by Bruce last season, ironically when the club were gong through a previous injury crisis, but he has not been in action since March of this year.

Villa fans will be hoping that the 20-year-old returns to action sooner rather than later, as their side continue their quest for promotion.
