Aston Villa appears to have been knocked back down to earth after upsetting Bayern Munich due to a plethora of injury news, with a crucial player now possibly joining as many as five others out this weekend.
Aston Villa injury news
Aston Villa’s 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in their second Champions League match of the season would have astonished the rest of the league even more if their top four finish in the previous campaign hadn’t already shocked them. Nevertheless, the Villans have earned both of these noteworthy achievements.
The Bundesliga’s top team traveled well, and despite concerns about his condition, Harry Kane even made his way back to England. However, Jhon Duran made headlines once more by coming off the bench and giving his team a thrilling victory deep into the second half.
The Villans’ attention will soon return to the Premier League, where they will visit Manchester United this weekend, so they won’t have much time to enjoy their victory over such a formidable team. Even though Bayern Munich had their own challenges, Unai Emery’s team now faces a slightly different struggle against Manchester United, which will be their first true test of the season in terms of squad depth after such a demanding effort to defeat Bayern.
As many as six players are now possibly out for the Villans, including Amadou Onana, who might now miss this weekend’s match against Manchester United, according to 3 Added Minutes. After taking a knock earlier against Bayern Munich, the Belgian, who has settled in well in the Midlands, hobbled off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, adding to Villa’s injury concerns.
The two are added to Emery’s list of injured worries along with Matty Cash, John McGinn, Tyrone Mings, and Boubacar Kamara. Villa is hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League following a disheartening 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town last time out.
“Fantastic” Onana has hit ground running at Aston Villa
Onana at Villa has not at all experienced the half-season adjustment that sometimes befalls high-profile newcomers. A goal threat and defensive mainstay for a Villa team vying for Champions League qualifying for the second straight year, the former Everton midfielder is undoubtedly having the greatest season of his career.
But given his current form, Emery will be severely missing him against Manchester United if an injury against Bayern Munich demands a frustrating substitution. The Spaniard is eager to overcome the Red Devils and compound Erik ten Hag’s recent problems in order to cap off what would be a fantastic week.
But without their £140,000-a-week star, the Midlands could find it difficult to make the kind of impression they want, leaving the door open for Manchester United to win. Onana has been called “fantastic” by Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout in the past, so his absence from this weekend’s match at Villa Park will be felt greatly.
