Brazilian defender Diego Carlos, who moved to Aston Villa from Sevilla, has been injured. The 29-year-old central defender has been sidelined with an ankle injury.
This season he moved from La Liga club Sevilla to Premier League side Aston Villa. He was in the eleven in the team’s opening two matches. After losing the first leg, Aston Villa won the second leg against Everton 2-1. He got injured in that match.
He has torn ligaments in his ankle. The club has confirmed that he will undergo surgery. But it is not confirmed how long he will be out of the field. It is believed that he will not be able to return to the field before three-four months from the ankle ligament injury.
Diego Carlos is a member of Brazil’s Olympic gold-winning team. However, he is not a regular defender of the national team. The defender, who spent three seasons at Nantes and Sevilla, has not played a match for Brazil. However, he has been called to the team several times. Even if coach Tite didn’t put him in the plan, Carlos definitely dreamed of playing in the World Cup.
