Returns to bench Cash (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Tottenham.

Impact Cash recovered sufficiently from the issue that had emerged during the warm-up at Coventry, earning a spot in the squad after missing the previous two matches and being named on the bench for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie without featuring. Coach Unai Emery confirmed he was more or less with the group but wanted to be sure he was fully ready before committing to his involvement from the start, opting for a bench role rather than immediately reinstating him in the back line.

Should play against Tottenham Cash should be available for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to coach Unai Emery.

Impact Cash should be ready to return to the starting XI after missing the previous two matches before being named on the bench for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie at Coventry, where he did not feature. He had experienced an issue during the warm-up at Coventry, but manager Unai Emery's latest update indicates that the right-back has recovered sufficiently to feature.

Feels issue in warm-up Cash was named among the substitutes for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie at Coventry but did not feature after feeling an issue during the warm-up, according to Jacob Tanswell of The A...

Impact Cash had missed the previous two matches with muscular discomfort, and while his inclusion on the bench indicated he was nearing a return, the warm-up problem and his subsequent non-appearance suggest the issue has not fully settled. That leaves the right-back a doubt for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Tottenham, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka having deputised in the position throughout his absence.

Available as substitute in cup Cash (undisclosed) returned to the Aston Villa squad and was named on the bench for the cup match after missing the club's previous two games.

Impact Cash missed Aston Villa's last two matches with a muscular problem but has now recovered enough to return to the bench for the cup fixture. His return to the squad suggests he is progressing toward full availability, with his involvement in the cup providing a chance to regain match readiness. Assuming there are no issues during the game, the right back could be in contention to start the following league fixture against Tottenham.

Misses call Saturday Cash (muscular) is ruled out for Saturday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Cash has been unable to pass his late fitness test after coach Unai Emery confirmed he would be assessed in Friday's training session following the muscular issue that had forced him to miss Tuesday's Champions League win over Club Brugge. Despite manager Emery describing the injury as minor, the right-back's response to Friday's session was insufficient to earn him a place in the matchday squad. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to retain the starting role at right-back until he returns to full speed.

Facing late fitness test Cash (muscular) will be tested in Friday's training session before a decision is made on his availability for Saturday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, according t...

Impact Cash missed Tuesday's Champions League win over Club Brugge due to the muscular issue, but manager Unai Emery's description of the injury as minor leaves him with a chance of returning Saturday. The right-back's response to Friday's session will determine whether he is cleared, making him a late fitness decision rather than a confirmed absence. Aaron Wan-Bissaka started at right-back against Club Brugge and would be the leading candidate to retain the role if Cash isn't ready.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Left out with muscle soreness Cash did not travel with the squad for Tuesday's Champions League opener at Club Brugge due to muscle soreness, Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cash's omission reads as a precaution more than a setback, with Villa choosing not to risk him on the trip to Belgium and early indications pointing to a short absence. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will take the right-back spot, an established alternative that limits the disruption. The four-day turnaround to Saturday's home fixture against Nottingham Forest gives him a realistic window to be back, and he is reported to be hopeful of making it.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Creates first chance in clean sheet Cash recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Hull City.

Impact The right back keeps getting himself up the pitch for Villa, but the attacking instinct he has shown over the years has yet to surface this season, and this was the first time in the league that created a chance, on top of the one attempt of his own he had managed beforehand. He was quiet at the other end too with a single clearance, though that sits alongside the six tackles, one interception, four clearances and two blocks he has to his name in the first two games. The arrival of Aaron Wan Bissaka's arrival could put his hold on the shirt under pressure and may lead to rotation, potentially in Europe.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tough outing in opener Cash recorded two tackles (two won), three clearances and one interception in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Cash registered two tackles (two won), three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Brighton. The right-back endured a difficult outing as his side struggled to contain Brighton's attack, though he remained active defensively throughout the contest. Cash will look to bounce back in the upcoming clash against Arsenal, while the arrival of Aaron Wan-Bissaka could increase competition for the starting role at right-back.

Impact Cash was back in his regular starting role for the final and served his normal duties, being a solid two-way presence. He recorded one shot, two chances created and two crosses in the attack while notching two clearances and a tackle won in the defense. He would also help in the clean sheet as his club took home a trophy.

11 crosses Sunday Cash registered 11 crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Burnley.

Impact Cash recorded a season-high 11 crosses in Sunday's draw, though that high volume only resulted in two accurate crosses and one chance created. He also took three corners in the draw. He was subbed off in the 80th minute for Lamare Bogarde.

Assists late in Sunday's loss Cash assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Cash's cross in the 96th minute assisted Emiliano Buendia's header to cut the deficit to 2-1, but it was a little too late to have much of an impact on the result. It marked his third assist of the season and his first since Jan. 3. He played fairly well on the defensive end too, recording four tackles, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Aston Villa player ratings vs Bologna: Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers shine in dominant away victory

Appears in UEL game Cash (calf) played 16 minutes as a substitute in Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Lille.

Impact Cash is an option again following his recovery from an injury that sidelined him since March 4. The full-back will look to increase his workload ahead of upcoming EPL fixtures, potentially ousting Lamare Bogarde from the starting lineup. While he usually has some attacking upside, Cash has lost set-piece numbers in recent months, and Villa haven't been too reliable defensively in league action.

Trains in full Cash (calf) was back in full team training Tuesday, he posted in instagram stories.

Impact Cash was right on the verge of suiting up for the showdown against Manchester United in the last game but just missed the cut at the last minute. The right-back was fully locked in during team training ahead of Thursday's Europa League second-leg battle with Lille, and he's expected to be back in the squad, regaining his undisputed starting spot on the right flank of the back line as soon as he's cleared. That move would push Lamare Bogarde back into a depth role off the bench for the Villans.

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 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.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Suffers knock against Chelsea Cash was forced off due to a blow after the first half of Wednesday's matchup versus Chelsea, Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cash was unable to return to the field for the final 45 minutes of the midweek clash, but the nature and severity of the issue remain unclear. Therefore, the defender will be a doubt for next week's Europa League clash against Lille. Lamare Bogarde took his place in the last match and will look to take on a bigger role if Cash requires some time to recover.

Ruled out Saturday Cash (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Cash is unavailable for Saturday's FA Cup matchup against Newcastle United after failing to recover from a minor knee issue picked up during the week. His absence is a major blow for the squad, as he has been a mainstay in the starting XI, making 29 starts across 31 appearances in all competitions while tallying three goals and three assists this season. The right-back is replaced in the starting XI by Lamare Bogarde.

Impact Cash picked up a minor knee issue in Wednesday's win over the Seagulls and is now a question mark for Saturday's FA Cup showdown against the Magpies. The right-back is expected to go through a final evaluation after the last training session to determine whether he is fit enough to suit up. If he does not get the green light, Lamare Bogarde could be in line to step into the starting role on the right side of the backline.
