center back was making a name for himself at Aston Villa the past two seasons, but could not overcome a persistent injury that has kept him out since January. At 31 years old, Laursen still had a alot of soccer left in his legs. It was very noticeable that Aston Villa struggled after his injury. 1 win in 13 games proves just that! Laursen could have underwent surgery to try fix his left knee, but there was no guarantee that the surgery could work, with the possibility of major stiffness for the rest of his life.I think Martin made the right decision, although he is going to be greatly missed! Over the past two seasons he had become one of the best center backs in the Premier League, and one that could score goals! Every time Aston Villa had a corner Laursen was a huge threat, scoring many important goals. It is a real shame for him and Aston Villa that he will not play again. Aston Villa's slump could see them miss out on a European spot that was nearly a cert at Christmas. I believe if Laursen had been playing, Villa would already have their spot !
