Aston Villa are bringing back winger Bertrand Traore from his loan at Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir.

Traore did play 18 games in Turkey, but has suffered a serious knee injury.

Since he has been out of action since December, the club believe he can continue his rehabilitation in England.

Traore does have a chance of being fit before the end of the season.

He will then compete with the likes of Emi Buendia and Leon Bailey for a starting spot.

Manager Unai Emery will get a chance to run the rule over a player who only featured nine times last term.
