Saturday’s substitute appearance in the 1-0 defeat at Wolves was the Brazilian centre-back’s first after nearly nine months out with a ruptured Achilles.
Carlos suffered the injury in just his second Premier League appearance for Villa following a £26million move from Sevilla last summer and the 30-year-old, who thanked fans for their support during his spell on the sidelines, is eager to make up for lost time.
Writing on social media, he said: “After a long period away from the fields, I’m back, stronger than ever.
“Thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey. It wasn’t easy but I won!”
Carlos is now aiming for more minutes as Villa continue to hunt European football over the season’s final weeks, starting with Saturday’s visit of Tottenham.
