da brwin: Aston Villa youngster Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has faded into the background this season due to injury.
da lvbet: The 19-year-old attacker, who made his league debt for the Midlands outfit in 2015, was on the sidelines for four months with a groin problem.
On Monday night, the teenager showed that he is ready for action once again by scoring inside the first two minutes of the Under-23s’ 4-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion.
The youngster’s performance has attracted the attention of the fans, who feel that he should be brought into the first-team squad.
Villa are well positioned in the Championship in fifth place, but just one point separates them from seventh.
The team have failed to win their last three games – drawing two and losing one – and they have been missing a threat up front.
The likes of Jonathan Kodjia and Gabriel Agbonlahor remain sidelined with injuries, while Scott Hogan is easing his way back in following stomach surgery.
After the U23s’ game, Hepburn-Murphy took to Twitter, and in response, fans made it clear that they want Bruce to call up the attacker.
