Johan Manzambi - Will miss Super Cup Manzambi is out for the Super Cup final against PSG on Aug. 12, according to Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic.

Impact Manzambi is still recovering from a knee injury, and this will lead him to miss out on his possible first competitive match with Villa, as he will not be able to play in the Super Cup final. The good news is the club is hopeful that his injury will be weeks and not months, as he has been progressing well, and the staff has been impressed by his work. With their season opener Aug. 23, he still has a few more weeks to recover, eyeing a return when the start of the season hits.

Boubacar Kamara - Scores in return to action Kamara (knee) made his long-awaited return to action and scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Pathum United, the club posted.

Impact Kamara's recovery from the knee injury that has kept him out since January reached a big milestone with his long-awaited return, and scoring on the occasion only adds to the positive feeling around his comeback. The next phase is building his fitness and getting back to full match sharpness before the season starts, which Villa will be keen to manage carefully given how much they are set to rely on him, especially with Youri Tielemans having left the club. Provided he continues progressing without setbacks, he looks set to line up alongside Joao Gomes in central midfield once he is fully up to speed.

John McGinn - Forced off with knee problem McGinn was forced off with a knee injury after landing awkwardly on his left knee during the preseason friendly against BG Pathum, John Townley of Brimingham Live reports.

Impact McGinn was forced off after being fouled in midfield and landing awkwardly on his left knee, and although he looked ready to return to the pitch, head coach Unai Emery waved him off and substituted him instead. He is now set to undergo tests to determine the severity of the issue. Given how important he was to Aston Villa last season, having scored 10 goals and added six assists across the Premier League and Europa League, the club will be hoping he is available for the season opener, though that will ultimately depend on what the assessment shows.
