John Carew could miss rest of the season

Norway and Aston Villa striker John Carew’s back injury will take longer to heal than previously thought.

Carew, who last player played for Aston villa on 22 November, told Norwegian media last month that he will be rest for four to five weeks.

“It is hard to say when John will be back. Maybe in February, maybe in March or later”

“This is an injury that will take time. It is important that John is completely healed.”
