Ahead of today’s clash between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, both teams are dealing with injury issues that may impact their starting lineups. Here’s a look at the most significant injury updates.
For Aston Villa, head coach Unai Emery has an encouraging squad situation. Several players who were previously out have returned to training, and Villa will hope to field a strong lineup. Key players like Emiliano Buendía and Tyrone Mings remain sidelined with long-term injuries, but otherwise, Villa has managed to avoid recent setbacks, enabling them to compete with a relatively fit squad.
Tottenham, on the other hand, faces more severe challenges with notable absences. James Maddison and Yves Bissouma are both out, which removes much of Tottenham’s midfield creativity. Additionally, defender Micky van de Ven is sidelined due to a hamstring issue, a significant blow to their defensive solidity. Although Son Heung-min picked up a minor injury recently, he is expected to play a crucial role in today’s game. Other squad members such as Ivan Perisic remain out with longer-term injuries, which may affect their depth on the wings.
Both managers will have to make strategic adjustments due to these absences, and it’s likely that the bench depth and substitutions could play a decisive role today. This match holds high stakes as both teams vie for position in the upper part of the Premier League standings, and the injury situation may tip the balance for whichever squad manages it more effectively.
