Barry injury concerns

Last updated : 08 December 2002 By VillaMAD
Barry limped off after just fourty-two minutes of the 1-0 home defeat against Newcastle after taking a knock to his hip.

“Gareth has got a whack just above his hip. I think it happened when he collided with the keeper. It’s very painful in his hip and pelvis area," said Villa boss Graham Taylor.

“We lost Ian Taylor before the game and then we lost Gareth Barry, which takes out a lot of strength, never mind ability from that very important part in the middle of the pitch," he added.
