Aston Villa face Middlesbrough this weekend in the Championship as they look to amend their recent form.

The men from Villa Park have had an interesting campaign so far this season with it full of ups and downs and good and bad points.

Recently, though, things have been a bit more negative with a poor run over Christmas leading them to fall out of the play-off places and so they need to address things ahead of a big clash against Boro.

Whilst we wait to see how they do, though, it appears as though the club is sweating on Albert Adomah and Gabby Agbonlahor in terms of their fitness.

The latter has been out of the side for some time, of course, but the former has arguably been Villa's best player and seeing him hobble out of action recently was not welcome to Villa fans' eyes.

He might make it for this game against Boro, of course, but as per the club's official website, it is going to be touch and go.

Villa have been struggling with injuries for some time, of course, and so a January recruitment drive - if possible - is needed.

The Verdict

Villa fans will really want to see Adomah back in the side as soon as possible at the very least.

He has been their main source of goals and losing him at this time in the campaign really hasn't been ideal.
