So Sad : I might not return Ollie Watkin declares urgent break due to his current knee injury….

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says the knee injury suffered by star striker Ollie Watkins in the 4-0 win over Ajax was “no more than a cut”.

Watkins, 28, was replaced by Jhon Duran in the 33rd minute of the Europa Conference League last-16 second leg after opening the scoring with a brilliant header from Douglas Luiz’s corner.

The ex-Brentford forward could even make the Villans’ match against West Ham on Sunday and Emery’s positive update suggests he will not withdraw from Gareth Southgate’s England squad either.

Emery said: “The injury is not more than a cut on the knee.

The 18-year-old striker made his senior debut in the 4-1 Premier League win over Luton last month.

Danns also played a key role in the Reds’ 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, coming on as a second-half substitute as Virgil van Dijk scored a dramatic extra-time winner.

The teenage forward then came off the bench against Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round and bagged two goals in front of the Kop to seal a 3-0 victory for Jurgen Klopp’s injury-depleted side.
