Okore targets Premier League comeback with Villa

Aston Villa defender Jores Okore feels as if he is starting out all over again after missing most of the last Premier League season through a serious injury. The 21 year old ruptured knee ligaments against Newcastle last September in only his fourth game for club.

"It feels like my first season here, so I am going to be a bit nervous," Okore told BBC WM 95.6.

"I'm really happy, I can train fully now and everything's good."

"I was really disappointed and it was unlucky to get inured for such a long time. I was playing well," the Ivory Coast-born Okore added.

"Hopefully, I can get back to my old self and get even better and start again.

"I want to defend with my heart and be solid, powerful and aggressive."
