Villa striker Weimann: Okore will be back stronger than before

Aston Villa striker Andi Weimann says Jores Okore will fight back from his knee injury.

The Dane is out for nine months due to the injury.

"Jores has come in and played really well," said Weimann. "It's tough for him to be out for that length of time. He's a really nice guy and a really good player. I know he will bounce back and return stronger than before but for the next while, of course, it will be tough.

"He has a very positive attitude though, so this will get him through."
