The player suffered a cruel injury just as Aston Villa was getting ready to make an offer for him.

Pedro Gonçalves has been linked with a move to Aston Villa for many months now,

and the story was recently brought back to life by the Portuguese media.

It was stated that Aston Villa are preparing an offer for the player,

looking to move ahead of next summer.

He remains a Sporting player and is enjoying an impressive season,

scoring four times and picking up three assists in eight games in the league.

Aston Villa’s hopes of potentially landing him may now have been impacted,

as the midfielder has picked up another injury.

According to a Bola report, Gonçalves was having trouble with a muscle issue

against Braga a few days ago, and they have confirmed that he will be

sidelined until at least the end of the year.

The Portuguese star has suffered his second long-term injury of the season,

which is a warning sign for potential suitors and Aston Villa,

who would not want to spend a significant sum of money on a player who is prone to injuries,

it’s a cruel situation because it’s a part of his game that he has no control.
