Aston Villa boss Dean Smith insists Wesley Moraes will be fit for the start of the season.

The Brazilian was not a part of the squad that won yesterday at Charlton having netted a brace against Walsall in midweek, but is not a long-term injury concern.

Smith said: Wesley played well on Wednesday and scored two goals.

He also played 20 minutes against Kuwait in the week but suffered a small knock.

"It wasn't worth the risk bringing him down today. He's fine, though. He should be back training on Tuesday or Wednesday."
