How has Unai Emery resolved Aston Villa’s injury issues for Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Manchester United?
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has been forced to make two changes to his midfield for Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Manchester United.
Earlier this week, the West Midlands outfit recorded a famous 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
However, the win came at a cost with Jacob Ramsey, Amadou Onana and Leon Bailey all being withdrawn through injuries before the start of the final quarter.
At a press conference on Friday, Emery indicated that Onana – who had suffered a hamstring issue – was most likely of the trio to feature at Villa Park.
Instead, both the Belgium international and Ramsey have been ruled out of the clash with the Red Devils, with Bailey being brought into the team for the latter having initially replaced him versus Bayern.
Ross Barkley is the other player to be brought into the midfield, the Englishman in line to team up with Youri Tielemans.
There is a further alteration with Matty Cash, who has recovered from a hamstring injury, being brought in for Diego Carlos, allowing Ezri Konsa to move back into the centre of defence.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Philogene, Barkley, Tielemans, Bailey; Rogers; Watkins
Subs: Gauci, Nedeljkovic, Maatsen, Carlos, Bogarde, Swinkels, Buendia, Young, Duran
