Aston Villa hope to bounce back from their exit from the Carabao Cup in midweek when they travel to London to face Spurs in the Premier League.
The Villains lost to Crystal Palace 2-1 on Wednesday night, despite Jhon Duran getting them back on level terms after Eberechi Eze opened the scoring. Villa have won twice in their last two meetings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the most recent clash between the two sides resulted in a 4-0 win for Spurs back in March.
Spurs progressed to the last eight of the Carabao Cup after beating Manchester City, but they didn’t come through things unscathed. They’ve got some injuries to contend with, and so without a further ado, here’s the latest injury update on both side’s squads.
Aston Villa team news
In what is a rarity these days given the volume of fixtures, Aston Villa have no injury concerns. Jaden Philogene missed their last league match due to picking up two yellow cards, but he's now back, and available for selection.
Villa have a game against Club Brugge in the Champions League next Wednesday, and so there might be one eye on that fixture when it comes to team selection. The Premier League is the bread and butter, but Villa will want to continue their good start, having topped the league phase in the UCL after three games.
Unai Emery made 10 changes from the team that drew with Bournemouth against Crystal Palace, including starts for Tyrone Mings, and Boubacar Kamara who have recovered from ACL injuries.
Spurs team news
Micky van de Ven has emerged as an injury concern for Spurs. He felt something in his hamstring after playing a part in their win against Manchester City on Wednesday. He'll be assessed, and an update should be provided on Friday.
Timo Werner looked to have been contending with fatigue towards the latter stages of the game against Man City. Werner should be okay to play at the weekend however. Cristian Romero is similar to Werner, but given van den Ven's injury, a decision was made to bring on Ben Davies early in the second period.
Summer signing Wilson Odobert has been ruled out. He's picked up a fresh injury which is around the same area as he picked up the first which put him out for over a month.
Spurs are hoping that they can get Heung-Min Son back for the weekend. He's been sidelined with a thigh injury, and he's been described as 'almost fit' and so it seems he's touch and go for the weekend. Djed Spence is in a similar position to Heung-Min Son, with Ange Postecoglou hoping that he would re-join the squad this week in training.
