(Reuters) - Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey will miss Saturday's Premier League game at Burnley with an ankle injury while midfielder Jacob Ramsey is a doubt after picking up a groin injury in training, manager Steven Gerrard said.
Jamaica international Bailey was forced off before halftime in Villa's 2-0 win over relegated Norwich City last weekend, but Gerrard said he expected the 24-year-old to return before the end of the campaign.
"We had an issue in training with young Jacob Ramsey as well, so we're analysing his situation and he's a big doubt as we stand." "Burnley have got their own style and identity... and they're desperate to stay in the Premier League," Gerrard added. Victory could potentially propel Villa up to 10th, if other results go their way, and Gerrard offered a blunt assessment of his team's performance this season.
