N'Zogbia recorded an assist during Aston Villa's 2-1 loss to the Spurs on Sunday.

This was N'Zogbia's first assist of the season. He usually gives way to fellow forwards Andreas Weimann and Christian Benteke when it comes to goal-scoring opportunities, but he might see a few more looks with the recent three-game suspension to Benteke.

N'Zogbia has made all three starts for Aston Villa since the start of the Premier League season.

The 28-year-old seems to be firmly in the starting XI and will play a large role in Villa's potential success during their 2014-15 campaign. The only knock on him at this point is the fact that he's been substituted out of all three matches that he's played in. Regardless, he's seeing major time on the pitch and will likely continue to do so when Villa faces the formidable foes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in the next four consecutive weeks.

N'Zogbia (Achilles) played in Aston Villa's pre-season game against FC Dallas and was able to drive home a goal in the effort, Aston Villa's Official Site reports.

N'Zogbia's return to health is certainly good news for Villa since he'll likely be a reserve player that brings a spark off the bench this season. Like his goal against FC Dallas suggests, he possesses the ability put the ball in the net when he comes onto the pitch in relief.

N'Zogbia (Achilles) is on track to make a return in August, Sky News reports.

N'Zogbia injured his Achilles way back in June 2013 and spent last season rehabbing instead of on the pitch. A return for the start of the 2014-15 campaign in mid-August now seems plausible, but his viability should be in question considering that he's been out of commission for quite some time.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert said that N'Zogbia (achilles) is unlikely to recover in time to return to action this season, reports Sky Sports.

The midfielder picked up the injury before the season began, and continues in rehab. Villa originally hoped he would play some part in the close of the season, but that will probably not be the case.

N'Zogbia continues to be hampered by his Achilles injury and could be out until near the end of the season, the Daily Mail reports.

The club was hopeful that N'Zogbia would be able to return at the end of 2013, but he's no where near a return at this point, putting his entire 2013-14 season in jeopardy.

N'Zogbia (knee) is doubtful to face Wigan Saturday, reports the Daily Mail.
