Zion Suzuki - Could miss seven matches in 2027 Suzuki is expected to join Japan for the Asian Cup in January and could miss up to seven Aston Villa matches across January and February, depending on his national team's progress... Impact Suzuki faces a potentially significant absence during a crucial stretch of Aston Villa's season, with Japan's participation in the Asian Cup threatening to keep him unavailable for Premier League and Champions League fixtures. If Japan reach the final and hold an extended preparation camp, the goalkeeper could miss encounters against Everton, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, Fulham, Slavia Prague, Ipswich Town and Sunderland. Marco Bizot would be expected to replace him in goal, although Suzuki's distribution has become an important component of coach Unai Emery's buildup system. The Japanese international recently delivered six saves in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Manchester City, further highlighting his importance to Villa's defensive setup.
