Jonathan Kodjia has been ruled out of Aston Villa’s Premier League game with Bournemouth on Saturday.
The 29-year-old suffered an ankle injury in Villa’s opening game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur, where they lost 3-1 to Spurs, although the attacker managed to play for the duration of the game.
On Thursday, the Claret and Blue Army boss Dean Smith confirmed the forward will play no part against the Cherries along with James Chester and Kortney Hause due to injury problems.
“James is still missing. Kortney is still missing. Kortney picked up an ankle injury in Leipzig,” Smith said in a pre-match press conference.
