The injury expert believes that the club are handing out very little information on the 20-year-old after his surgery in May.
Unai Emery said at the start of September that he’s training alone but no return date has been given by the club thus far.
Speaking about his injury and potential return, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, told Villa News:
“He may have suffered a setback, whether in the injured area or somewhere else, or his rehabilitation is just taking longer than anticipated.
It’s hard to make anything of the club not offering that information because most clubs like to keep that very close to the chest.
“What it looks like is he’ll be out for at least a few more weeks.“
The Englishman enjoyed a good 2022-23 season on loan at Queens Park Rangers and the feeling was that he’ll be among the contenders in the first team for Villa.
However, his injury has derailed his progress and he’s not even featured in pre season for Unai Emery.
It does seem to be a long way back for him and it will be a major surprise if he returns in the next few weeks as there aren’t too many positive updates coming from the club.
