# Aston Villa: Fans react to Trezeguet’s return from injury

**Aston Villa winger Trezeguet made a long-awaited return from injury on Monday evening.**

The 27-year-old played [60 minutes](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1467937428866584578) for the club’s under-23s against Birmingham City, with a number of fans reacting on social media after he [scored](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1467924932239765508) in his first game back.

Trezeguet has been sidelined since April after he sustained a serious [knee](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/trezeguet-grabs-attention-steven-gerrard-22383308) injury against Liverpool. Eight months on and the Egyptian is back playing in claret and blue, marking his return with a goal from the penalty spot.

The winger made it 2-1 to Villa on 32 minutes and made way on the hour mark for Declan Firth. Villa went on to draw with their Midlands rivals 3-3 despite being 3-1 up, leaving them [fifth](https://www.fotmob.com/teams/357203/table/aston-villa-u23) in Premier League 2 Division 2.
