Impact Watkins will be forced to serve the next match from the sidelines, as he is not fit after going down in Saturday's match against Wolves due to a hamstring issue. However, the injury only appears to be minor, with the striker having a decent chance of being an option for their next match against Brentford on Saturday. With that being said, he will hope to see a decent stretch of training between now and then, hoping to be an option for the rest of the season after the City game as Villa enters a crucial part of the season while trying to maintain a UCL spot in the table. Jhon Duran will most likely replace him in the starting XI Tuesday.
