Other than long-term absentee Jed Steer, Philippe Coutinho is Aston Villa’s only injury concern ahead of the game.
The Brazilian has a thigh issue and is not expected back until after the break:
“Coutinho is injured, and it’s longer than one week. It’s a muscular injury. I think he’ll be out for one month, more or less. Yes, after the international break,” Unai Emery said.
