Aston Villa vs. Brentford: Feb 1, 2026

Damsgaard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Keith Andrews. "It was concerning, but they're both pretty good, really. It's nothing serious. Whether they'll be available for the weekend or not, I'm not entirely sure on both of them, but if they're not, they won't be far off. That tells you it's not too bad, thankfully, because I was pretty worried."

Watkins (hamstring) is a late call for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Unai Emery. "Watkins, we will see tomorrow. Today he had a scan, and it's not a clear injury. He was tired yesterday, and the scan is not giving us bad information. We will see tomorrow if he's not feeling comfortable or if he's feeling comfortable to decide to be with us on Sunday."

Barkley (knee) has trained with his teammates and could be in the squad Sunday to face Brentford, according to manager Unai Emery. "Ross Barkley is coming back, training with us. Today, normal training with the group, and maybe we can include him in the squad."
