Paul Lambert is reeling from a "massive" blow after Aston Villa striker Libor Kozak sustained a broken leg in training.

The Villans' £7million summer signing from Lazio was taken to hospital on Thursday in an ambulance after being injured in a challenge with team-mate Ciaran Clark at the club's Bodymoor Heath HQ.

Czech international Kozak, who has four goals this term, is now set to miss the rest of the season following Friday surgery on his crocked right leg.

Villa boss Lambert revealed: "Kozak has got a bad one. He has a suspected broken leg. It has been a massive, major blow.

"It was a nothing challenge - I thought it was a clash of boots. Nobody knew what had happened or thought anything of it and then we saw it.

"It was an innocuous challenge and we just need to find out how he is."

Lambert will now step up his search for a new striker this month.

they signed that helenieus or however u spell his name the young Danish striker and scored quite a few in pre season but I cant recall him playing in prem much or at all this season

Kozak is not a bad striker. Price tag is hefty but at least he is producing.
