Aston Villa defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffered a hamstring injury in their 1-0 win against Newcastle United.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffered a hamstring injury during Aston Villa's 1-0 win against Newcastle United, with Johan Manzambi scoring the goal. Wan-Bissaka had started the previous two matches at left-back while regular defenders Ian Maatsen and Matteo Ruggeri were out injured. He was replaced by Tyrone Mings for the final ten minutes.
Manager Unai Emery acknowledged the injury setback after the match. 'It is a hamstring,' he said. 'He played fantastic when we needed him against Brentford, Fenerbahce and today. Different players are being injured and the competitions are tough.' Emery added that Maatsen was improving and would begin training with the squad next week.
Villa face a demanding fixture schedule with six matches to play in the next three weeks before the November international break. They will host Viking FK and Manchester City before the international break, along with trips to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and matches against Fulham, Barcelona and Manchester United.
