Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans injury worse than first expected – Doctor
Dr Rajpal Brar says Youri Tielemans, an Aston Villa player, looks to have a more significant ailment than just a failed late fitness test.
The Belgium international was questionable for the match against Brentford on December 17 but was ruled out of the match against Sheffield United on December 22, with Unai Emery subsequently stating he would be out for two weeks.
The injury expert claims that this could mean he did not respond well to training or recovery and will be out until the new year.
Speaking about this situation, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, told Villa News:
“Most likely a failed fitness test before the game last weekend.
Generally, that means he either didn’t respond well to training/recovery with more discomfort or soreness than the medical team found acceptable.
“Emery then ruled him out for two weeks after the mid-week so it was worse than first expected.”
Tielemans, whose contract at Leicester City expired during the summer, joined Emery’s team on a free transfer and is now a Villa Park player.
After the Foxes were demoted from the Premier League, the 26-year-old made the decision not to remain at the King Power Stadium.
He has made 16 league appearances this season, although Emery has only started four of them because he likes to use him late in games.
