Quite how he got on the pitch is anyone's guess, but the striker who sadly gives us nothing now faces an anxious wait to find out the extent of his ankle injury.
Heskey arrived on the pitch at 65 minutes as a reasonably ineffective Carew was given his substitute orders. He lasted all of 15 minutes before his dodgy ankle gave way again in what, at least without the benefit of replays, looked like the most basic of tackles. In fact I didn't even really see it clearly, as it appeared to be nothing.
Speaking after the match, O'Neill explained literally all that was known at the time of speaking:
'Emile has rocked his ankle. I asked Roddy, my doctor, how it was after the game and he said it was sore and he won't be able to assess it properly until tomorrow morning.
'I just don't know at this minute. It is just really unfortunate.'
Hopefully it will only be a bit of bruising, although Heskey hasn't hit it off at Villa he is a decent bloke and doesn't deserve a long layoff.![]()

If I pay £40 for a ticket (OK that relates to the man city game) then I demand 100% from the team.
Heskey would have ripped the defence today should he have not had to go off!

He isn't the saviour and he's not even a naughty boy. He's useless. He has been all of his career, he should never have signed for this club fullstop. If he wasn't Monny's mate there is no way in hell we would sign a player who couldn't even score at Birmingham - Monny and Heskey should be thankful most of us realise Emile is a decent bloke.
When the hell do Villa take to Birmingham rejects who do as much on the pitch during game day as I do as a supporter.
