The latest updates from BirminghamLive on Aston Villa’s preparations for their upcoming clash with Sheffield United at Villa Park reveal that the team is entering the match with positive momentum, following a 2-1 victory over Brentford in their previous outing. Unai Emery’s squad secured their third consecutive win in the Premier League, with goals from Alex Moreno and Ollie Watkins.
However, the team is dealing with several injuries, impacting key players. Youri Tielemans, who missed the recent European draw with HSK Zrinjski and the Brentford game due to a knock earlier in the month, has an uncertain return timeline. Emery is hopeful that Pau Torres, who was substituted in the Brentford match, will recover soon, and there is a possibility of him returning for the Sheffield United game on December 22.
Bertrand Traore, who returned to Bodymoor Heath with an injury after the November international break, is facing an unknown timeline for his return. Tyrone Mings, who suffered a long-term knee injury during the opening weekend defeat at Newcastle United, also has an uncertain return date.
Additionally, Emi Buendia, who sustained a long-term knee injury just before the start of the new season, remains without a confirmed return date. The club is grappling with these injury concerns as they aim to maintain their winning streak in the upcoming fixtures.
