Emiliano Martinez - Serves up three in loss Martinez made three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Martinez struggled in Sunday's loss and has now given up nine goals in his last three EPL starts. However, he did keep a clean sheet against Lille in the UEL Round of 16 first leg so he might be able to channel that in the second leg on Thursday.

Emiliano Buendia - off injured Buendia was forced off the field in the 86th minute of Sunday's 3-1 loss to Manchester United due to an apparent injury.

Impact Buendia had to be taken off late into Sunday's match after being helped by the physios, appearing to pick up an injury. However, after five straight starts and two games this week, there have been some talks of fatigue, possibly just needing some rest to end the game. Either way, with a Europa League match on Thursday, this will be something to monitor.

Matty Cash - Missing out Cash (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Cash was a late call for Sunday and has appeared to fail his testing, with the defender not on the team sheet at all. This is a tough loss, going a second straight game without their starting right-back. That said, Lamare Bogarde earns the start in his spot.

Impact Tielemans is progressing through his recovery, with the midfielder having missed the past month of action. However, he is back in individual training, now pushing to join team training. With a return not expected until after the international break, he will still have a few more weeks to recover and build fitness to make a clear return.

Andres Garcia - Unused from bench Garcia (hamstring) was unused off the bench in Thursday's 1-0 win over Lille.

Impact Garcia made a return to the team sheet Thursday, shaking off a hamstring injury he picked up a few weeks ago. However, the defender would not see the field, instead going unused the full 90. He has only appeared in three games off the bench all season and is more of a depth option, likely to remain in this role after the injury.

Impact Cash looks to be in for some testing as he approaches Wundsy's match, looking to be an option after some time out with a calf injury. The question then will be how much he can play, hopefully able to start, but likely needing to pass a fitness test for that to be an option. With 27 starts in 27 appearances this season and five goal contributions, he will hope to be an option, a regular starter when fit.

John McGinn - Plays 13 minutes Thursday McGinn delivered one accurate cross during 13 minutes as a substitute in his return from a knee injury Thursday against Lille.

Impact McGinn bounced back after almost two months on the sidelines, giving his team a major midfield boost. Now that he's fully healthy, he could have a reasonable chance of starting in league play, potentially taking Jadon Sancho's place on the right wing. McGinn took a few set pieces early in the season, so he may be reliable for playmaking output.

John McGinn - Available off bench McGinn (knee) is on the bench for Thursday's game against Lille.

Impact McGinn will be an option and could make his return to action in what should be a huge boost for Villa. The talented midfielder hasn't played for Villa since Jan. 18, and he should become a starter as he gains match fitness.

John McGinn - Travels to France McGinn (knee) has traveled for Thursday's match against Lille and appears to be an option, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.

Impact McGinn was back in training this week and has taken another major step in his return to play, as he has traveled for Thursday's UEL match. The question moving forward is how much time he will be available for, potentially not rushing him back into a starting role. Either way, this is a major addition, as the midfielder proves to be one of their critical players in the midfield when fit.

Matty Cash - Won't play Thursday Cash (calf) is out for Thursday's match against Lille, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.

Impact Cash is not going to be with his club for UEL action after he went down with a calf injury, as further testing deems him not fit enough for Thursday. This does leave a gap for the club as they wait for his return, still with no secure date in place. That said, he was replaced by Lamara Bogarde last time out, a likely replacement if he misses time moving forward.

John McGinn - Joins training McGinn (knee) was back in training Tuesday, according to Matt Maher of the Express and Star.

Impact McGinn is continuing to make progress in his steps to return to action, as the midfielder has now been able to take the training pitch. This is major news for the club as he recovers from the knee injury, set to gain back an important part of their midfield quite soon. It remains unseen if he will return before the international break, although Villa does play four times between now and then, potentially finding a spot on the team sheet.
