An injury expert has given their verdict on Jacob Ramsey after he suffered a suspected knee injury in the Aston Villa loss over Liverpool.
The Villa lost a while there point to rival.
But there was a fresh injury worry when Ramsey suffered a knee problem midway through the second half.
Jacob Ramsey was taken off with a right hamstring injury late in the first half.
He was seen decelerating from a sprint, which could have aggravated the hamstring. Then, he further lunged into a challenge to block Salah that would’ve put additional strain on the hamstring.
This looked like more of a hamstring strain, than hamstring tightness as he pulled up from a jog then lunged into a challenge.
Potential Recovery Times:
Grade 1: 2-4 weeks
Grade 2: 4-6 weeks
He’ll need scans to determine the severity of the hamstring injury, as it’s tough to tell on video. Nothing to suggest that this was a grade 3 injury. Hopefully, it’s not too bad.
He sat on the pitch on the 45th minute asking for the Villa physios to come on after picking up a problem. He was then replaced by John McGinn a minute later, which was the second minute of three added on before the break.
Ramsey missed Villa’s match with Manchester United before the October international break after suffering an injury in the win over Bayern Munich. He has made a total 15 appearances this season, including four in the Champions League.
Ramsey has had horrid luck with injuries in recent years. Last season, Ramsey missed a staggering 36 matches with a number of different issues, including a metatarsal fracture and a long-standing toe problem.
Villa won’t play again until the end of the month on Saturday, November 23 against Crystal Palace at Villa Park because of the international break.
Then, they’ll play six games in 24 days with matches against Juventus, Chelsea, Brentford, Southampton, RB Leipzig and Nottingham Forest to come.
