He had a long layoff. The word from Villa is that RDM is going easy on bringing him back because he doesn't want to risk things. I always thought he'd stay partly because it's likely to be well into the season before he's ready to make a serious contribution.
Thinking of players with similar long layoffs, Benteke wasn't playing until well into the season and took several weeks before he started to look his old self. Likewise N'zogbia, who never really got back to form for us.
He's a 100% player so this is probably wise. Think it also means we're likely to keep both Bennett and Cissokho.

Might not be ready for physical contact yet. Can only just be back.
