Aston Villa’s Injury Update
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has provided a positive update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Martinez ahead of the team’s next Premier League fixture. Both players had been sidelined due to health concerns but are now in contention to return to action for the upcoming match against Brentford on Saturday.
Key Players on the Mend
After missing the recent defeat at Manchester City, the England and Argentina internationals are showing signs of recovery. Martinez was out with illness, while Watkins had been nursing a hamstring issue. Emery, addressing the media on Friday, hinted at the possibility of the duo making an appearance on the pitch, confirming their inclusion in the matchday squad.
Watkins’ Impressive Season
Watkins has been a standout performer for Aston Villa this season, netting an impressive 16 goals in 30 Premier League matches and totaling 22 across all competitions. His goal-scoring tally has already surpassed his records from the previous three seasons, and with seven games remaining, he could add significantly to his personal best.
Ramsey Ruled Out for the Season
While there’s optimism surrounding Watkins and Martinez, the news is less encouraging for Jacob Ramsey. The young midfielder is set to miss the remainder of the season due to a persistent toe injury. Having made 16 league appearances and scoring once, Ramsey’s campaign has come to an early end, leaving Villa without one of their promising talents for the final stretch.
