Following what Unai Emery said at Aston Villa, Diego Carlos’ injury prediction has emerged.
We’re thrilled to welcome Aston Villa podcaster Ty Bracey as our exclusive Aston Villa columnist; each week, he’ll share his thoughts on the club’s most pressing issues…
According to Ty Bracey, Diego Carlos’ injury during Aston Villa’s trip to Liverpool is not cause for alarm following his long-term absence.
Carlos had to make his way off the pitch on Sunday (3 September) in the 19th minute at Anfield in yet another injury setback for the Brazilian, but Unai Emery was quick to note that his fresh injury is not as severe as the Achilles tendon rupture that kept him out the Villa squad for 213 days.

Villa have looked quite weak defensively when facing the Premier League’s top opposition and have shipped five goals to Newcastle and three to Liverpool in their opening four games, so Carlos’ absence will be a significant blow if he is sidelined beyond the international break.
Tyrone Mings is out for the rest of the season, as is midfielder Emi Buendia, and the club has had a string of injuries this season. Despite his troubling injury history, Ty Bracey has expressed concerns about Carlos’ fitness, claiming that this new setback has not “disheartened” him and that he should be back much sooner than expected.
Bracey told Villa News exclusively, “I think it’s just a little niggle to be fair.” I don’t believe it’s as serious as his previous injuries.
“Emery said it was a minor muscle injury, so it wasn’t anything serious.” It’s fine as long as we recover from it. I’m not discouraged or worried about it.
