Aston Villas Premier League title bid has suffered a major blow after Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans was ruled out for up to 10 weeks with an ankle injury.
Tielemans sustained the problem in Villas 2-0 win over Newcastle United at St James Park on Sunday.
The 28-year-old was replaced in the 74th minute following a clash with Newcastles Lewis Miley.
