Dean Smith has provided an injury update on Ross Barkley and progress reports on returning duo Tom Heaton and Wesley.
Barkley sustained a hamstring complaint in the opening minutes of the club’s defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last month, missing the clash against West Ham United.
Smith revealed the attacking midfielder is progressing well and, although likely to miss out against Wolves this weekend, is hopefully set for a return soon afterwards.
Long-term absentees Heaton and Wesley, meanwhile, have been stepping up their respective recoveries having been out of first-team action since both suffering knee ligament damage on New Year’s Day.
Head coach Smith sat down with VillaTV to discuss the trio and provide an update on his Villa squad.
