Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has revealed that it is unlikely that Charles N'Zogbia will return to action before the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has been on the sidelines for the entire campaign so far after suffering an Achilles tendon injury during pre-season.
"He's still doing rehab," Sky Sports News quotes Lambert as saying. "Charles's injury is probably worse than Jores Okore's was and that's disappointing.
"It will be a big ask for Charles to come back this season because he's not had many games at all and that Achilles heel, as everybody knows, is a major issue."
Villa are currently 11th in the Premier League table with 10 games left to play.
