Aston Villa's survival hopes have suffered a blow via an injury setback for Matt Targett.

The defender was forced off 10 minutes into Saturday's 1-0 loss to Wolves.

It was the third time this term the attacking full-back has had hamstring trouble.

The Mirror says Targett, 24, is now expected to be sidelined two-three weeks.

The former England U21 defender is set to miss Villa's crunch games against Liverpool, Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
