I heard a Stress Fracture is the problem.

Strange, given Smith was quoted with the following in his press conference for the Leeds game

“He’s getting better. He won’t be ready for tomorrow but he’s getting better.

“As I said last week, there’s been an awful lot of speculation where Jack is involved. People speculated how long he’s going to be out for – I’m not sure how they can do that when I don’t know, the doctor doesn’t know and Jack doesn’t know.

“I was very vague last week because it’s a bit of a strange injury. Jack could be back to play against Sheffield United next Wednesday or Wolves next week. We’ll be led by Jack on that.”

If he was an Albion player he’d be out until April at the earliest. Fingers crossed

You'd think they might seek to employ better medical staff!

To be fair, he has been lying on the floor in screaming agony approximately 346 times this season; any one of them could have been the life-threatening injury they all appeared to be. Or it could be an accumulation of all 346.

Very very sore throat maybe ?

The guy has been flogged to death by Villa. A lot of people are calling for him to start for England but I can see the classic age-old problem of him being knackered / injured for a June tournament.

Somewhat ironically, heroes of England's 2018 World Cup campaign Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard are both fresh and running into a rich vein of form.

If it's a "strange" stress fracture, as Smith says, I expect it's to one of his arms, as a result of continually throwing himself face first to the turf and using his arms to cushion the blow.
