Aston Villa lose Ollie Watkins to injury as they slip to defeat at Wolves

Jhon Duran left the club in midweek. 

Ollie Watkins went off injured against Wolves (Nick Potts/PA).

Aston Villa’s decision to sell Jhon Duran could have backfired immediately as Ollie Watkins suffered an apparent injury in a 2-0 defeat to Wolves.

Duran was sold to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on Friday to leave Watkins, for whom Arsenal made a bid earlier in the week, as the only recognised striker at the club.
