Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Jacob Ramsey suffers recurrence of foot injury
Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey has suffered a recurrence of the foot injury which kept him sidelined for 10 weeks over the summer and into the start of this season.
The 22-year-old broke a metatarsal while playing for England in the European Under-21 Championship back in July. He returned from injury to make his first appearance of the season in Villa’s 3-2 defeat at Legia Warsaw two weeks ago.
He then featured in Villa’s win over Chelsea, before missing the Carabao Cup defeat to Everton last week. Ramsey was declared fit to make the matchday squad against Brighton last Saturday, as he came off the bench to score his first goal of the campaign in the 6-1 thrashing, but felt pain after the match.

Villa manager Unai Emery said of the injury on Wednesday: “With Ramsey, we again are trying to check him in because he’s not available for tomorrow (against HSK Zrinjski).
“He had some pains after the match he played on Saturday and after he felt something against Chelsea, and he’s not available for tomorrow.
“We are checking him out. We’re going to wait at the end is the analysis of the doctor about him.”
It has since been confirmed that Ramsey has sustained a recurrence of the injury which kept him out for two months. It is not yet clear when Ramsey will be fit to return to training.
