Carles Gil is going through the pain barrier. Suffering with a groin issue, the Aston Villa owned player shouldn’t be taking to the field, however he’s putting Deportivo La Coruna first and has declared himself fit to face Osasuna at lunchtime on Sunday.
Depor aren’t exactly blessed with a great cash-flow and Gil hasn’t done enough this season to warrant them breaking the bank. A return to Aston Villa, and meeting up with Steve Bruce, is very much a possibility.
Given that, Aston Villa will be quite concerned with comments from La Voz de Galicia. The local newspaper say Gil’s groin injury is so bad he may require surgery.
If Depor are doubtful about keeping Gil, which they have been for some time, then pushing him to these physical limits is surely of concern to Aston Villa.
The last thing Steve Bruce and the Championship club will want is Carles Gil arriving needing an operation, meaning Deportivo La Coruna lose all interest, and Aston Villa have to look to rebuild the player’s career again.
