Ezri Konsa has sent a worrying update to Aston Villa fans after his jury scare during their victory against Tottenham on Sunday (9 February).

Unai Emery’s side progressed into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 against Spurs with goals from Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Rogers securing the result as Mathys Tel’s 91st-minute goal being nothing more than a consolation.

The win kept Villa’s hopes of securing silverware alive this season in a match that featured the debuts of new signings Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio.

However, there was one negative situation from the game as Konsa was forced off the pitch due to injury in the 27th minute.

This has added to Villa’s growing defensive problems with Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres both sidelined due to fitness issues at the moment.

Konsa had to be replaced by Lamare Bogarde as Emery’s options continued to be stretched.

Ezri Konsa would be a huge miss for Aston Villa after impressive campaign

Konsa has been a key feature in the Villa team this season having played 31 games in all competitions.

The 27-year-old has taken to Instagram to celebrate the win while also providing fans with an injury update.

He said, “A great win by the boys today to put ourselves in the next round. Hopefully injury isn’t a bad one, thank you for the support.”

Unai Emery reflects on Ezri Konsa’s injury

During his post-match interview, Emery wasn’t able to provide many medical updates on Konsa, but he did state “For Konsa, hopefully it is not a big injury.”

Villa were boosted by a deadline day loan signing of Axel Disasi, which could prove to be very smart business now due to Konsa’s injury.

The Chelsea defender made the move to Villa Park until the end of the season in a search for more game time and should be available for their next fixture.

Emery’s side will be back in action on Saturday (15 February) against Ipswich Town.
