The full-back has been struggling with the problem for a while, with Eric Lichaj and Carlos Cuellar both filling in for Young at right-back over the last few weeks. Villa assistant boss Gary McAllister has revealed the club are waiting to find out the full extent of the problem. "Luke Young has seen a specialist," said McAllister. "It is a tough time for him but work is continuing with the physios and doctors trying to get to the crux of the problem." Villa have been linked with a move for Tottenham youngster Kyle Walker and McAllister has admitted they would be interested in a deal for a new full-back. "We are looking right across the board," added McAllister. "Anyone who can make Aston Villa better, we are in the market for. "As you can imagine, there is a lot of hard work being done in the recruitment area. "There are a lot of good players here but, at every club, if somebody is available that could make us better, we've got to be able to react."
