Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos is set for a long spell out after rupturing his Achilles tendon.
The Brazilian center back will require surgery, the Premier League club said on Monday, and then will begin a rehab program.
Villa did not say how long it expects Carlos to be sidelined.
The 29-year-old Carlos joined Villa from Sevilla during the offseason and started the team's first two games in the Premier League, a loss to Bournemouth and the 2-1 win over Everton on Saturday.
He sustained the injury in second-half stoppage time against Everton.
Lo Celso returns
Madrid: Giovani Lo Celso is returning to Villarreal on another loan from Tottenham, the Spanish club said.
The Argentina midfielder arrived at Villarreal in the beginning of the year but his initial loan expired at the end of the season.
