'Gutted' Matty Cash posts six-word message after coming off injured in Arsenal defeat
Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday night's defeat to Arsenal
Matty Cash has posted on social media after suffering an injury in Aston Villa's Premier League clash with Arsenal.
The right-back left the pitch in the 16th minute after picking up a hamstring problem while trying to block a cross. Cash was seen feeling his right hamstring as he laid on the pitch awaiting assistance from Villa's medical staff.
On Instagram, Cash posted on his story: “So gutted. I’ll be back stronger.” He also came off in the final stages of Villa's opening-weekend win at West Ham last weekend, but that was a precaution due to fatigue in his hamstring.

Kosta Nedeljkovic came on for Cash on Saturday night, instead of centre-back Diego Carlos, who won both man of the match awards against Arsenal last season.
Villa were made to pay for missing big chances against Arsenal, as the title hopefuls bagged twice in the second half. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 67th minute, before Thomas Partey doubled their lead 10 minutes later.
Villa will now prepare for their clash with newly-promoted side Leicester City at the King Power Stadium next Saturday (3pm kick-off), before the September international break.
