Unai Emery gives injury updates on seven Aston Villa players ahead of Fulham clash

Unai Emery has given a team news update ahead of Aston Villa's trip to Craven Cottage

by · Birmingham Live

Unai Emery has revealed he has a fully fit squad to select from for Aston Villa's trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage, except for Robin Olsen, who is dealing with a small injury.

Villa were without Amadou Onana, John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey for the match with Manchester United before the October international break, but all three are now available for selection. Ezri Konsa, who suffered an injury in the 0-0 draw against Erik ten Hag's side, is also fit.

Jaden Philogene picked up a knock while representing the England Under-21s and was considered a doubt, but the winger is able to feature at Craven Cottage. Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara, who have been long-term absentees with ACL injuries, are also available to Emery.

Asked about the team news, Emery said: "McGinn has trained with us normally and is feeling good, Konsa as well. He is feeling good. Jaden is feeling good.

"I think it is the first time this year we have more or less every player available to play. Only still out, but he is training not 100 per cent Robin Olsen."

Villa head into the game against Fulham on the back of successive draws in the league against Ipswich Town and Manchester United. Emery's side managed to beat Bayern Munich between those two draws as Villa continued their impressive 100 per cent start in the Champions League.

Opponents Fulham have made an impressive start to the season having taken 11 points from seven games and were unlucky not to take anything away from the Etihad before the October international break after losing 3-2 to Manchester City.

Villa could earn consecutive away league wins against Fulham for the first time but have won just six of their 35 league visits to Craven Cottage. Fulham have lost five of the past six Premier League meetings, with the exception being a 3-0 home victory in 2022.
