Aston Villa skipper Martin Laursen will make a decision
next week whether or not he is going to hang up his
boots.
The defender has been sidelined since January with a knee injury
that has put his future in the game in doubt.
The 31-year-old has sought the advice of various specialists and
must now decide if he can continue playing for Villa next
season.
“I am almost 100 per cent sure that I will reach a decision by
mid next week," Laursen told Onside.dk.
In his absence Villa have struggled for form and have seen their
excellent start to the season fall away with their hopes of
qualifying for next season’s Champions League disappearing.
The defender, who began his career in Denmark before securing
moves to Parma and then Milan, has been dogged by persistent knee
injuries throughout his time in football.
