Aston Villa suffer major injury blow in what may prove a boost to Bristol City, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion's play-off hopes

Aston Villa’s promotion hopes have suffered a significant blow following an injury sustained to Tammy Abraham on Friday.

The Chelsea loanee was forced off after scoring his side’s second goal against relegation-threatened Bolton Wanderers on Friday and he is expected to be sidelined for Monday’s clash with Millwall.

Aston Villa will also be fearful that Abraham, who has scored 25 goals this season, could miss further matches in the chase for a return to the Premier League - and potentially the play-offs.

Villa have just three matches remaining this season, clashing with Leeds United on the penultimate weekend before facing off against title-favourites Norwich City on the final day.

Any absence of Abraham for those clashes could prove to be disastrous to Villa’s promotion push and fans may fear deja vu after suffering heartbreak at Wembley last year.
