Louie Barry Returns to Aston Villa for Rehabilitation After Knee Injury

Louie Barry has returned to Aston Villa for rehabilitation following a knee cartilage injury sustained during Hull City's 1-0 victory over Sunderland. The 21-year-old forward, who had made four appearances for Hull since his loan in January, suffered the injury after an innocuous clash and was visibly upset as he left the pitch. Hull City remains optimistic that he could return before the end of the season to aid their fight against relegation, currently sitting just above the drop zone. Barry had previously enjoyed a prolific loan spell at Stockport County, where he scored 15 goals in 23 matches. While head coach Ruben Selles expressed hope regarding the severity of Barry's injury, he acknowledged that further assessments were needed. Hull faces a crucial match against Cardiff City as they seek to build momentum under Selles' management.
