Aston Villa are back in action on Saturday, when they face Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on the back of Champions League success during the week. Unai Emery's men held off Club Brugge to get off to a strong start in the league phase, but attention now turns back to the Premier League.
It has been a tough start to the season for Villa, who remain winless, losing two of their first three games, while they also drew against newly promoted Hull City. Better is expected of Emery's men, and they will be desperately hoping to turn the tide here.
As for Forest, they have also disappointed so far, losing their opener and since drawing twice, though the last game saw them draw against Tottenham, albeit that doesn't carry as much weight as it might have in years gone by.
Ahead of Saturday's clash between these two struggling Midlands sides, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Nicolo Savona - Out
A short injury list for Forest, who are only missing Savona. Glasner confirmed ahead of this one: "It's just Nicolo that is still out unfortunately. He's had a few setbacks, so we're progressing slowly. But he's on track, and there is no pressure on him. So far he has reacted fine."
Amadoun Onana - Out
Onana is out for the season after rupturing his ACL.
Leon Goretzka - Out
Goretzka has struggled to reach full fitness after joining without a pre-season, and a setback means he is out until after the break. He said: "Unfortunately, my body has reacted to the increased workload after my time away from the pitch. It’s frustrating, but I need this short break now to come back at full strength. I’ll use the coming days, including the international break, to recover fully."
Joao Gomes - Out (Suspended)
Gomes continues to serve his suspension for violent conduct in the opening game.
Matty Cash - Doubt
Cash has been dealing with fatigue and will be assessed ahead of the game.
Johan Manzambi - Doubt
Emery said during the week: "He’s training with the group, and he’s progressively getting better, feeling good. But he will need some more days for Tuesday in the Champions League or for our next match against Nottingham Forest at home." Manzambi didn't feature against Club Brugge, but he could have a chance of playing here.
Brian Madjo - Doubt
Madjo is getting closer, but he will remain a question mark for this one. He has what has been described by Emery as a 'small issue'.
