# Aston Villa: Fans react to Matty Cash’s tweet following his injury

**Many Aston Villa fans are reacting to a post from defender Matty Cash in which he speaks out following his [injury](https://www.sofascore.com/aston-villa-brighton-and-hove-albion/FP) on the weekend against Brighton.**

The player [tweeted](https://twitter.com/mattycash622/status/1362131564449169408?s=20) a photo of him walking off the pitch during the match on the weekend, with the caption, ‘Little set back for a major comeback, I’ll be back stronger’

The right-back, who signed from Championship side Nottingham Forest in the summer ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/matty-cash/profil/spieler/425334)) has been a revelation for Villa and has been crucial to the club picking up [12](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/clean_sheet) clean sheets in the Premier League so far. One said he has ‘been brilliant this season’.

Cash is only 23 years-old and in his first campaign in the top-flight but already looks like he has the potential to be a very solid defender for many seasons.

The injury will be a huge blow for the club as he has featured in [21](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322043/Show/Matthew-Cash) games this season, but the fact he called the set back ‘little’ suggests that he should hopefully be back soon.

### Here is how Villa fans reacted to the news:
