Aston Villa look certain to be without first-choice stopper, Thomas Sorensen, when Liverpool visit Villa Park on August 11. Sorensen is struggling with a hamstring injury suffered in their first pre-season game in the US. It’s estimated that he will require at least 3-4 weeks to fully recover from the injury and could therefore be missing throughout August. Stuart Taylor is set to take the Goalkeeping jersey for Villa’s opening fixtures.
