Aston Villa will be without Ollie Watkins and Bertrand Traore against Newcastle United on Saturday.
And, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been reacting to the confirmed news on social media.
Reliable reporter Ashley Preece of Birmingham Live shared a report on Friday morning, where Dean Smith ruled the pair out of the meeting with Steve Bruce’s side.
Watkins missed last week’s opener against Watford with a knee injury, and Smith admitted he was hopeful the forward could return for the clash with Brentford next weekend.
Traore, who featured at Vicarage Road, suffered a hamstring injury in a behind-closed-doors friendly with Liverpool on Sunday and is expected to be out until after the international break.
