Aston Villa continued their remarkable run of form as they made it nine consecutive wins with a 2-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers who were relegated following the result. 

Goals from Jack Grealish and Tammy Abraham proved to be enough for the Villans in a routine win for Dean Smith's side as they cemented their position in the play-off places.

But Villa were dealt a frustrating update as Abraham was ruled out of their clash with Millwall on Monday with a shoulder injury after landing awkwardly in the win over the Trotters.

Abraham has since taken to Instagram following this news and has issued supporters with an update as he continues his recovery.

Abraham has been Villa's main outlet for goals this season, and his goal against Bolton was his 25th of the season in the Championship will have been pleasing to see for Dean Smith.

Without him, you have to feel that Aston Villa wouldn't be in with a chance of winning promotion back into the Premier League this season.

Aston Villa supporters will be hoping that his injury as bad as first feared, as the on-loan Chelsea forward has been crucial to their charge for the play-offs this season.

With Abraham being ruled out of Villa's next game against Millwall, he's seemingly doing everything he can to be fit in time to face promotion-chasing, Leeds United at Elland Road in the near future.

The Verdict: 

Aston Villa fans will be keeping their fingers crossed.

Abraham has been crucial to the success of this team, and without his notable contribution, the Villans wouldn't be occupying a play-off spot.

They need him back ASAP for a crucial period of the season.
