Villa rocked by Carew injury

05 November 2010 13:30
Aston Villa have suffered a further injury blow with the news striker John Carew, who had been set to deputise for Emile Heskey at Fulham this weekend, is now injured himself. The Norway international has torn a calf muscle and joins former England forward Heskey on the sidelines. Villa announced earlier this week Heskey would be out for up to a month with a medial ligament injury. The club are desperately short of forward options, with Gabriel Agbonlahor having only just returned to light training after a groin operation.
