(Reuters) - Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley will miss the rest of the season after sustaining knee ligament injuries in Wednesday's 2-1 win at Burnley, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Wesley, the club's record signing, was injured in a collision with Burnley's Ben Mee and had to be taken off on a stretcher while Heaton also left the pitch in a similar manner after he landed awkwardly on his knee when Chris Wood scored.
