Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish is crossing his fingers Shay Given only suffered a grade one hamstring tear against Manchester United tonight.
The Donegal ‘keeper was forced out of the action in the 38th minute at Villa Park after racing out of his goal to halt a United attack.
Given immediately reached for his left hamstring and it quickly became apparent the 35-year-old would be unable to continue.
“I’m not sure but I think Shay had a little tweak in his hamstring. Hopefully it’s a grade one (tear) and will heal really quickly,” said Villa manager Alex McLeish in an interview with Sky Sports.
“Stand-in keeper Brad Guzan can be proud of the way he came in in those circumstances.”
