Youri Tielemans 'could miss the rest of the season with a muscle injury' in a major blow to Aston Villa's hopes of securing Champions League football

Aston Villa star Youri Tielemans could miss the rest of the season with a muscle injury, according to a report.

The Belgian has been a key cog in the midfielder for Unai Emery and has turned in several crucial performances for the Villans in their quest for Champions League qualification, including his match-winning contribution against Fulham last weekend.

The 28-year-old, who has featured in every Premier League match this season, could be unavailable for Villa's remaining clashes against Bournemouth, Tottenham and Manchester United, according to The Athletic.
