Aston Villaâs official Twitter account have tweeted a message of support to injured striker Jonathan Kodjia, who looks set to miss the start of next season through injury.
It was confirmed yesterday that Kodjia had suffered a broken ankle in Saturdayâs defeat to Blackburn Rovers, which instantly ruled him out of Villaâs final game of the season.
Kodjia could now miss the beginning of the 2017/18 campaign, which is a huge blow for Steve Bruce, given the Ivorianâs goalscoring form this season.
The 27-year old has scored 19 goals during his first season at Villa Park and his injury means he will fall agonisingly short of the 20-goal mark.
Villaâs official media revealed a collage of images from Kodjiaâs season, alongside a message of support, which read: âYouâll be back better than ever, @J_Kodjia⦠You should be proud of a brilliant season in front of goal.â
Bruce was left disappointed by the performance in last weekendâs 1-0 defeat to Blackburn, but his side have a chance to end the season positively this coming Sunday when title-chasing Brighton and Hove Albion visit Villa Park.
