Konsa optimistic about his injury return, says Villa defender

The centre half sustained the injury towards the end of a goalless draw against Manchester United just before the international break.

However, manager Unai Emery did not know if his defender would be out for a long time.

Emery said: "I don’t know if it’s a big or small injury”.

Now The Telegraph states that Konsa is of the belief that he will be back in time for the Premier League’s return in less than a fortnight.

Villa will take on Fulham at Craven Cottage after the break, followed by a Champions League game against Bologna at home.
