Birmingham-based news about Aston VillaLive coverage of Unai Emery’s squad news update prior to his team’s match against HSK Zrinjski Mostar.
Boubacar Kamara, Moussa Diaby, and Jacob Ramsey will all be sidelined by injuries for Aston Villa’s Europa Conference League match against Zrinjski Mostar, according to Unai Emery.
Despite being substituted late in Villa’s 6-1 hammering of Brighton, Kamara and Diaby weren’t expected to be out for long, according to Emery. Ramsey will also miss the game on Thursday since he was in agony on Saturday following the game.
Leon Bailey, who resumed training on Wednesday, will undergo a late fitness test before tomorrow’s game. After losing their opening group stage match against Legia Warsaw in the Polish capital last month, Emery’s team is aiming to get off to a good start in Group E. Zrinjski, the team that will face them on Thursday, shocked everyone by defeating AZ Alkmaar 4-3 at home despite being three goals down at the break.
Villa enters the game having won 10 straight home league games and five of their opening seven league games. Their incredible win over Brighton came only days after they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Everton, who triumphed 2-1 at Villa Park the previous week.
Emery provided an update on the team news for his side prior to the game on Thursday. After our match on Saturday, Boubacar and Diaby didn’t train, he claimed. They are not available and they are not prepared. I believe Leon Bailey is prepared for tomorrow. Since it was a minor injury, there is some skepticism.
When asked if Kamara or Diaby would be okay to play this weekend, Emery said, “I don’t know for the weekend.”
