Aston Villa could face a massive injury boost as Diego Carlos might be back from injury sooner than the club expected him to be.
The Brazilian damaged his Achilles tendon during Villa's 2 -1 victory over Everton in August and has been on the sidelines for three months already.
Following his surgery, the 29-year-old is currently doing a separate recovery session in the gym with the help o the club's medical staff.
However, Carlos is hoped to be part of Unai Emery's traveling squad to Dubai where the Premier League side are scheduled to hold a winter training camp in December.
Ahead of it, the defender posted a photo of his rehabilitation process which made the fans excited over his possible return.
