Aston Villa are back in action on Wednesday night when they face Turkish giants Fenerbahce at home. Villa won their Champions League opener and will be hoping to continue a strong start here, especially being at home.
Unai Emery's men drew with Brentford over the weekend and continue to deal with a fair few injury issues, but they are starting to improve after a rocky start.
Fenerbahce are fourth so far in the Turkish Super Lig, and they come into this one on the back of a comfortable 3-0 win over Rizezpor, while they drew with AS Roma in their Champions League opener.
Here we take a look at the injury latest surrounding both teams ahead of this one.
Mert Muldur - Out
Muldur is out until some time in December due to a meniscus injury.
Amara Diouf - Doubt
Diouf is dealing with a muscular issue and it's unclear whether he will feature here.
Vedat Muriqi - Out
Muriqi is almost certainly out after picking up a muscular injury just over a week ago.
Jayden Oosterwolde - Out
Oosterwolde is dealing with an Achilles issue and won't feature here.
Amadou Onana - Out
Onana is out for the season with an ACL rupture. Emery said last week: "Onana is [out] for a long time, but is progressing very well."
Ian Maatsen - Out
Maatsen is looking as though he will be out until late November. Emery has said: "Maatsen is progressing very well, but still out."
Modou Keba Cisse - Out
Cisse is out but he is getting close. Emery has said: "Cisse as well. He is progressing very well. He’s going to start to train with us next week, so it’s been positive."
Leon Goretzka - Out
Goretzka is hoping to return from his knee issue in the next couple of weeks. Emery has said: "And other players like Goretzka and Madjo, they are as well training with us, with the group. They joined us last week, this week they are working with us. Progressively, we are recovering some players."
Brian Madjo - Out
The same update as above applies.
George Hemmings - Doubt
Hemmings has picked up a knock on the knee. Emery said: "Hemmings has a small knee injury. [It] should keep him out for a few days. I know he suffered a small issue while away on international duty."
Matteo Ruggeri - Out
A fresh blow for Villa, Rugerri looks set for a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring issue. Emery said over the weekend: "Ruggeri is hamstring. [We] have to check tomorrow."
