‘Everyone at Aston Villa wishes Trez a full and speedy recovery.’
When asked about the problem after the match at Anfield, Villa boss Dean Smith said: ‘He tried to carry on but, unfortunately, didn’t feel great so had to come off and was naturally upset and worried at what extent the injury is but only time will tell us.’
Trezeguet was visibly tearful as he made his way of at Anfield and now faces a significant spell on the treatment table.
The 26-year-old joined Villa in 2019 and has scored two goals in 22 appearances thi season.
