Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos has offered an update on his fitness.

The 29-year-old centre-back was a huge coup for the Villa Park stadium club in the summer.

However, he suffered a long-term injury against Everton within two games.

While there is no return date set for Carlos, recently installed boss Unai Emery stated he was looking forward to working with the Brazilian.

Carlos posted photographs on Instagram of his family going to Disneyland recently.

He also showcased photos of himself in the gym, wearing a Villa training kit.

Fans will be hoping that he is back to his best after he recovers from having ruptured his Achilles tendon.
