Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer will be out for around two months after suffering a calf injury against Wolves on Sunday.

It was feared that Steer, who was helped off in the eighth minute, had ruptured his Achilles, but a scan on Monday proved otherwise.

The 27-year-old was making his first Premier League appearance of the season after first-choice 'keeper Tom Heaton was injured in training on Saturday.
