# Aston Villa: Fans react to Leon Bailey news

**Aston Villa took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1441115240108736516) late on Thursday evening to share an injury update on summer signing Leon Bailey.**

And, as to be expected, their [official post](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1441115240108736516) led to a number of Villa fans giving their thoughts to the news.

Bailey made his [first](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-bailey/leistungsdaten/spieler/387626) Villa Park appearance last weekend in a [3-0](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa_everton-fc/index/spielbericht/3591961) win over Everton, netting his [first](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-bailey/leistungsdaten/spieler/387626) goal for the club to seal an impressive cameo display.

The 24-year-old came on for Matt Targett after the [hour mark](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa_everton-fc/index/spielbericht/3591961) but then had to be withdrawn 21 minutes for [Ashley Young](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa_everton-fc/index/spielbericht/3591961) with a muscle injury.

Dean Smith has now [confirmed](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/september/Smith-issues-injury-updates/) that the Jamaican’s injury is now likely to keep him out of action until after the international break.

The Villa boss also added that midfielder Morgan Sanson is also set to be sidelined for a [month](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/september/Smith-issues-injury-updates/) after picking up a hamstring problem against Chelsea in the week.
