Returns from hamstring injury Torres (hamstring) returned from his injury as a halftime substitute in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy win over Sevilla

Impact Torres looks set to end his spell on the sidelines after making his return from a hamstring injury against Nottingham Forest last month. The Spanish centre-back logged 45 minutes in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy fixture, giving him a full half of match action under his belt. Tyrone Mings deputised admirably during his absence, but Torres now has an extended training block ahead to build up his sharpness. He remains in a strong position to reclaim his starting spot in central defense when Premier League action resumes against Brentford.

Back in training Wednesday Torres (hamstring) trained Wednesday as Aston Villa opened its mid-season camp in Spain, according to John Townley.

Impact Torres is progressing toward a return after training at the start of Aston Villa's camp in Spain, less than three weeks after the hamstring injury that forced him off early against Nottingham Forest on Sept. 12. He was expected to be out until after the international break, making Brentford on Oct. 10 the clear target. Tyrone Mings has deputised in his absence, and if Torres comes through the camp without a setback, he should be in contention to reclaim his place when Aston Villa resume.

Won't return until after break Torres (hamstring) will be sidelined until after the international break, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.

Impact Torres was confirmed to have suffered a hamstring injury in the previous league match against Nottingham Forest, and with two matches coming up in the next four days, the defender won't be ready to return quickly. That means the earliest he can play will be against Brentford on Oct. 10, after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off with hamstring issue Torres was forced off with an apparent right hamstring injury during Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest, with Tyrone Mings replacing him.

Impact Torres required treatment before being withdrawn, and the nature of the injury points to a hamstring problem rather than a knock he could run off. Nothing further will be known until he is assessed, which leaves the trip to Tottenham on Saturday, Sept. 19 as the first fixture in question. Tyrone Mings came on in his place and is the obvious candidate to start if Torres is unavailable.

Aston Villa SURVIVE! Champions League Thriller vs. Club Brugge

SEPTEMBER 8 • YOUTUBE

Pair of assists Torres assisted twice to go with zero corners and four chances created in Tuesday's 3-2 win versus Club Brugge.

Impact Torres isn't any sort of consistent offensive threat but he produced a pair of assists and created four chances. The defender was a brilliant contributor to open the Champions League campaign, even if this isn't likely to be a consistent offensive output. Torres will take this brilliant showing and look to build on it back in domestic play.

Costly error in defeat Torres had four clearancesand one interception in Sunday's 4-0 defeat against Brighton.

Impact Torres endured a difficult season opener and was directly involved in the opening goal when his attempted backpass was intercepted by Maxim De Cuyper, leading to Victor Lindelof's own goal. The defender finished with four clearances and one interception as the backline struggled to contain Brighton's attack. Torres remains an important presence at the heart of the defense due to his composure and ability to build from the back, with his role becoming even more significant following Ezri Konsa's departure to Arsenal.

Villa loses to Everton to complete set of surprising results for Premier League title challengers

Aston Villa has become the latest title challenger to trip up on a weekend of surprising results in the Premier League after losing 1-0 at home to Everton because of a defensive bl...

Gets 90 in FA Cup Torres started and went the full 90 in Sunday's FA Cup win against Tottenham.

Impact Torres returned to the bench a few days prior and was healthy enough to go the entire way Sunday. He took the spot of Viktor Lindelof in the XI and that'll likely remain the case going forward. Prior to his month-long calf injury, he was a regular in the XI next to Ezri Konsa and outside of the scoreless draw against Crystal Palace, Villa had no clean sheets across the six league and UEL matches missed.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Selected for bench Torres (calf) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Torres is with the team Wednesday after some battles with a calf injury, an option from the bench to face Palace. He has started in 10 of his 12 appearances this season, likely to work back into the starting XI soon.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Wednesday Torres (calf) is a late call for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Unai Emery. "Tyrone and Pau are close but we are going to train now, I don't know if...

Impact Torres was deemed a week or two from a return after their last match but could be making that return a bit sooner, as the defender is set to be tested ahead of Wednesday's contest. This is massive news for the club after his six games on the sidelines, as the club could gain back two defenders, with Tyrone Mings (hamstring) also questionable. He started in 13 straight games before the injury, looking to return to a starting spot soon after his return to play.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

A week or two away from returning Torres (calf) is expected to remain out for another week or two, according to manager Unai Emery per Jacob Tanswell of the Athletic.

Impact Torres continues to recover from his calf injury as he needs a little bit more time before making a return to the pitch. He has missed almost a month of action and will likely aim to return either against Tottenham or Everton. Victor Lindelof will continue to get the start for Aston Villa at center back in his absence.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Few weeks from return Torres (calf) is still a few weeks from a return, according to manager Unai Emery. "Pau, more or less, the same; one week or two weeks, something like that."

Impact Torres had missed the last week of action through injury and is going to miss out a bit longer, with the defender likely out another week or two. The club will be left without a regular starter for that time, leaving Ezri Konsa and Victor Lindelof as likely starters in the defense. Torres will wait for his return in January, potentially an option to start the new year against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 3.

Impact Torres had to miss a midweek match Thursday after the defender exited the field early against Arsenal due to injury, now a question mark moving forward due to the injury. Unfortunately for the club, he has been a regular starter, so his absence will force a change if it continues. This will then lead to Lamare Bogarde and Victor Lindelof as potential replacements, unless Torres can come through as a late option.

England international suffers long-term injury in latest blow to withering World Cup hopes

Losing ground on starting role Torres has four starts and six total appearances across Villa's first nine matches between the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League.

Impact Torres has started Villa's last two matches due to the absence of Tyrone Mings (ankle), but when Mings and Ezri Konsa are healthy, they've emerged as the starting duo at center-back. This means Torres doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats as a depth piece on offense who isn't starting regularly.

Strong defensive performance Torres registered six clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 73rd minute.

Impact Torres led a 10-man Aston VIlla defensive effort Sunday with six clearances, though they were unable to hold-off the Manchester United attack in a 2-0 defeat. Overall, the central defender made 24 Premier League starts (23 appearances) this season, missing a two month stretch of matches due to injury. When healthy, Torres remains one of the top choices at center-back for Aston VIlla.

Registers three clearances Torres registered one chance created, two crosses and three clearances in Friday's 2-0 win over Tottenham.

Impact Torres was back in the starting role Friday after he was introduced off the bench last match, seeing a full 90 minutes of play. This continues his starting role since returning from injury in March, starting in seven of his nine appearances since then, although he has gone unused three times. He has notched an assist, four interceptions, eight tackles and 32 clearances since his return.

MAY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists Tuesday Torres assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Torres set up John McGinn's goal in the 55th minute Tuesday, a goal which cut PSG's aggregate lead to two goals. It marked Torres' second goal contribution in all competitions this season. He also put in a strong defensive effort as he won two tackles, intercepted one pass, made three clearances and won seven duels in his full 90 minutes. His UCL campaign comes to a close with two assists and four clean sheets across nine appearances (seven starts).

Stellar in win Torres recorded two tackles (one won), eight clearances and three interceptions in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Brighton.

listed to bench Torres (foot) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Club Brugge.

Impact Torres is with the club for their reception of Club Brugge, finally fit from a lengthy absence dating back to December. He was seeing regular time up until his injury and will hope he can earn that spot back in the coming weeks, starting in 23 of his 24 appearances this season.

Impact Torres traveled to Belgium and is now an option for Tuesday's clash. The defender has been sidelined for about two months, and is now fit and ready for some minutes. It's unclear if he will be ready for anything more than a bench cameo during Tuesday's Champions League action.

Impact Torres looks to be nearing his return to play, with the defender now a week or two away from training with the team after a foot injury. This is solid news, as he last played on Dec. 30 and has missed a decent amount of matches while out. He was a regular starter before the injury, so they will hope for his addition soon, likely to compete for that spot once fit.

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Weeks out Torres (foot) remains a few weeks out, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Torres is still on the sideline and is two-to-three weeks away from a return from the foot injury. The defender is a tough loss, especially with Ezri Konsa (undisclosed) struggling with his own issue. Axel Disasi should see more chances while Torres continues his recovery process.
