Aston Villa defender suffers injury blow on international duty

Villa defender Matty Cash is set to miss Poland's crucial Euro 2024 play-off against Wales on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury.

Cash collided with an advertising hoarding during Poland's 5-1 win over Estonia on Thursday evening and was forced off at half-time after attempting to soldier on following treatment.

"It's probably a little worse for Matty," Poland boss Michal Probierz said after the win. "We will make a decision later with your doctor."

The defender has since taken to Instagram to offer an update, with his fitness a major concern ahead of Villa's next fixture against Wolves on March 30.

"A great night in Warsaw ended in a bad one for me," he wrote.

"Best of luck in the final everyone. Let's go Polska! One more."

Cash has scored four goals in 40 appearances in all competitions this term.
