Trezeguet will be out of service for at least nine months

The Midlands giants announced earlier this month that the Egypt international would undergo surgery after suffering knee ligament damage in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

What Smith said: “He’s had a significant knee injury which is normally nine months. We never like to put a time frame on injuries but that’s the average time to come back. Some come back earlier, some come back later.”
That is the usual timeframe for the most serious of the knee ligament injuries, and which has regularly ruled out top-level stars for around a year.
Trezeguet’s Villa teammate Wesley tore his ACL on New Year’s Day of last year and was sidelined for 16 months before making his comeback as a late substitute in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with West Brom.
