Dean Smith gives injury updates on Aston Villa strikers Abraham, Kodjia

Aston Villa hit-man Tammy Abraham is ‘fine’ to play against Bolton Wanderers, with the game set to ‘come too soon’ for his fellow striker Jonathan Kodjia.

On Friday, the Villains chase a ninth consecutive win when they face Bolton away, and amid several concerns about members of their squad, their top scorer is all clear.

After opening the scoring against playoff-chasing Bristol City last Saturday, Abraham was forced off with a hamstring problem mid-way into the second half. Coach Dean Smith disclosed it was precautionary measure after their eighth successive win, and has declared the 24-goal Chelsea loanee ready for Bolton game.
