Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been reacting to Dean Smith’s comments on Wesley Moraes on social media.
The 24-year-old made his first appearance of the season in the 2-2 draw with West Brom on Sunday evening.
Smith described Wesley’s long-term absence due to a cruciate ligament injury as one of the most significant injuries he’s seen in football.
The Villa boss revealed that the Brazilian, who joined in a deal worth £22.5m back in 2019, received a round of applause from the Villa players after he named the squad in training for the clash with Sam Allardyce’s side.
Wesley has made a total of 22 career appearances for Villa so far, scoring on six occasions and registering a single assist.
