It’s been an unhappy stay at Aston Villa for Jermaine Jenas and after waiting to make his debut for the Midlands side, news has been confirmed that he is likely to out for the rest of the season.
The announcement on Tottenham’s official club website reads,
‘Jermaine Jenas has undergone surgery to his left Achilles tendon and is likely to miss the rest of the season, but should return for the start of pre-season.’
Villa manager Alex McLeish bemoaned the loss of Jenas but naturally stopped short of giving any indication that the club would be looking to tie up a permanent deal,
“This is tragic for Jermaine and, of course, we are all deeply disappointed for him,” said McLeish.
“To lose a player of his talent and experience is bad enough, but never to have seen him play enough in the Villa shirt for our fans to appreciate the player he is, that’s terrible bad luck.”
Spurs had done a decent job of pruning the deadwood in August but after David Bentley returned from West Ham in similar fashion, JJ has now re-joined the ranks and is still facing an uncertain future.

I feel sorry for him. He’s not good enough for the Spurs first team but he deserves a place somewhere.
