Aston Villa attacking midfielder suffers Achilles injury while keeping fit on holiday in Miami
Charles N'Zogbia has made 51 Barclays Premier League appearances for Aston Villa
Aston Villa midfielder Charles N'Zogbia
has suffered an Achilles tendon injury while keeping fit on holiday in
the United States.
It is unsure how long N’Zogbia will be sidelined with the injury but Roddy MacDonald, the club's head of sport and exercise medicine, has travelled to the US to be with N'Zogbia and accompany him back to the UK.
"The priority is to ensure that Charles receives the very best care and he has done and will continue to do so throughout his recovery period," Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert told the club's website.
"It's a blow for Charles, obviously, but he'll get his head down and get himself fit again and he'll have plenty of support in doing so."
N’Zogbia has made 51 Barclays Premier League appearances and scored four goals since joining Villa from Wigan Athletic in 2011. The Frenchman has a total of 252 top-flight sorties to his name.
Aston Villa, who have made five new signings this summer with Spanish defender Antonio Luna, Danish pair Nicklas Helenius and Jores Okore, Holland Under-21 midfielder Leandro Bacuna and Bulgaria midfielder Aleksandar Tonev all joining the club, face a trip to Arsenal on the opening match of the 2013/14 campaign.
