Aston Villa Suffer Double Injury Blow

Aston Villa continued their pre-season campaign with friendly encounters against Kidderminster Harriers and Telford on the same day yesterday, with two different sets of players lining up. Villa won the clash against Kidderminster 3-0 and managed a similarly impressive 4-0 victory over Telford.

The dominant victories would surely have pleased manager Steve Bruce but as a huge blow, two of his first team players in Micah Richards and Albert Adomah picked up knocks during the encounters.

As reported by the Birmingham Mail, Richards had to be forced off in the 67^th minute of the game against Kidderminster after picking up an apparent knee injury, while Adomah hobbled off the pitch on the 27^th minute in the clash with Telford.

The extent of the injuries suffered by the duo is not known as of yet but Villa will surely be hopeful that the two stars are not ruled out for too long.
