Aston Villa midfielder Emiliano Buendia sustains serious knee injury ahead of Premier League season

Aston Villa midfielder Emiliano Buendia will miss the start of the Premier League season and faces a lengthy spell out after sustaining a knee injury in training

Suffers knee ligament injury Buendia suffered a "significant knee ligament injury" in training Wednesday and will receive further consultation by a specialist.

Impact This is a massive blow for Buendia and Villa just before the season, especially with European play on the table. Buendia played in all 38 league matches last season, getting more than 2,400 minutes of action, so his absence will be felt. As a somewhat positive, they added Youri Tielemans and Moussa Diaby in the summer, though the same depth won't be there without Buendia.

Another campaign with ups and downs Buendia scored five goals, provided two assists, had 49 shots and 41 chances created, made five tackles and drew 44 fouls over 38 league appearances (27 starts).

Impact Buendia spent the first two months of the season mostly coming off the bench and, when finally given a starting spot, showed some scarce flashes of brilliance but his performances were still far from expected overall, with lots of peaks and valleys, which eventually led him to come off the bench again in the final two matches of the campaign. The playmaker will definitely need to play better if he wants to remain as a starter next season. There's also the possibility of him signing for another club as, at just 26 years old and his strong play from his days at Norwich not too far, the Argentina international may still have multiple suitors if all parties involved decide it's time to move on.
