ASTON VILLA NEWS

Emiliano Martinez - Two saves in loss Martinez had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Martinez had a tough day Saturday. He stopped two of the fours shots he faced but didn't get much help from the team in front of him. At his best Martinez is one of the absolute top goalkeepers in England, but he's been inconsistent and struggled with some injuries of late. Martinez should continue as a solid option in any given week.

Evann Guessand - Struggles in loss Guessand generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Guessand got the start Saturday, but had a day to forget, he took just a single shot off target and was brought off the pitch at the hour mark. The forward hasn't been at his best since making the move to England, though he hasn't been helped by a struggling team around him. Guessand continues to look for a real breakthrough in England.

Impact Rogers took three shots and created a chance, but it wasn't enough to earn the win against a struggling Liverpool side. It's been a disappointing season overall for Rogers and Villa, who are still looking to find their form. Rogers will need to get back to his best if he wants to help carry Villa out of this rut.

Harvey Elliott - Available for selection Elliott (not injury related) is no longer loan-locked and is back available for selection.

Impact Elliott missed Saturday's clash against Liverpool due to being loan-locked but is now back available for selection. That said, he had a difficult start of season with Aston Villa which forced coach Unai Emery to let him out of the match squad recently and which creates doubt about his status moving forward. It remains to be seen if Elliott will be integrated in the match squads for the upcoming fixtures.

Tyrone Mings - Suffers hamstring injury Mings suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Liverpool and is expected to miss several weeks, coach Unai Emery said in a press conference, according to John Tow...

Impact Mings left his teammates down to 10 men as he couldn't finish the game after a 16-minute shift due to a hamstring injury. The center-back will be assessed on Monday to determine the extent of the issue and how much time he could miss. Mings started the season in the lineup but has only started once in his last three available games, suggesting that his potential absence won't impact the starting XI.

Impact Tielemans has been out for well over a month now but is seeing his biggest update since the injury, as the midfielder could begin to train next week. This is massive news for the club, as it could set up the midfielder for a return following the international break. He is a regular when fit, so the club will hope he is an option soon after eight games out.

Impact Garcia is recovering from his injuries but is still not an option, with the defender sidelined a few more weeks due to the injury.
