This week, Aston Villa will resume its participation in the Europa Conference League when HSK Zrinjski Mostar visits Villa Park for the second group stage match of the season.
Following a 3-2 loss to Legia Warsaw last month, Unai Emery’s team is looking to rebound against Zrinjski. AZ Alkmaar was the opponent for the Bosnian team’s debut match, which they won 4-3 after trailing 3-0 at the break.
After Villa’s remarkable 6-1 victory against Brighton on Saturday, Emery was questioned about why he removed Boubacar Kamara and Moussa Diaby late in the game. He declared: “I believe Diaby is in some pain, but I don’t believe it will have an impact on the upcoming matches. Kamara, too, though hopefully not significant. We will check it even though we believe it is not significant.
Diego Carlos, Bertrand Traore, and Tim Iroegbunam can all play against Zrinjski, but Alex Moreno and Leon Bailey might find the match to be too soon. An overview of the club’s injury list is provided below.
