Aston Villa fans react to Jonathan Kodjia’s injury update
Aston Villa will face West Ham United in their next Premier League clash at Villa Park on Monday night.
In the pre-match press conference, Villa boss Dean Smith has confirmed that Jonathan Kodjia will miss the game against the Hammers.
Villa have been dealt a big blow as Kodjia has suffered a fractured cheekbone in a freak training ground accident.
The Ivory Coast international suffered a clash of heads with midfielder Marvelous Nakamba during training and he is now set for a longer spell on the sidelines.
According to reports from the Express and Star, the 29-year-old has undergone surgery and he is expected to miss between two to three weeks.
