Hopeful to play Sunday Lindelof (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Lindelof suffered a minor injury over the week but could return to the playing field Sunday, with the defender now a late call. That said, he will need to pass some testing to play Sunday, not yet deemed fully fit. Even if he is fit, the defender is likely to only earn a bench spot.

Suffers minor injury Lindelof (undisclosed) missed Tuesday's defeat against Brentford in the EFL Cup due to a minor injury, coach Unai Emery said to the media, according to John Townley from Birmingham...

Impact Lindelof played his first minutes as a Villain on Saturday against Everton but missed the EFL Cup game against the Bees on Tuesday due to a minor injury. The former Manchester United center-back will be assessed in the coming days to determine if he can be available for Sunday's clash against Sunderland. That said, Aston Villa will hope to keep him fit because Lindelof is expected to hold a decent role in the rotation, helping in both defense and midfield like on Saturday thanks to his versatility.

Impact Lindelof departed Manchester United as a free agent this summer after an eight-year spell with the club, making 284 appearances.

Unused off bench Lindelof (concussion) went unused off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 win over Fulham.

Impact Lindelof returned from a long absence Sunday, finding a bench spot after nearly a month and a half out. However, he would go unused, not seeing a single minute of play Sunday. He has only started in two of his seven appearances this season and is likely to continue in a bench role now that he is fit.

Impact It was never confirmed as a concussion for Lindelof, but he took a blow to the head and hasn't been seen for a month. He's back in training and should be an option in the coming week, though unless Amorim really likes him, it'll be hard for him to secure starts in important matches while everyone else is healthy.

Back in team training Lindelof (concussion) returned to team training on Wednesday morning, the club announced.

Impact Lindelof has played just one minute in the Premier League since early November due to a groin injury and was forced off during the first half of an EFL Cup match against Tottenham in December due to a concussion. He returned to team training on Wednesday morning ahead of Thursday's Europa League match against Rangers. It remains unclear whether he will be included in the squad for that match, but he is expected to be available for Sunday's game against Fulham.

Set to miss another contest Lindelof (concussion) is out for Thursday's match against Southampton, according to manager Ruben Amorim.

Impact Lindelof will spend another contest on the sidelines Thursday, as he will miss his sixth straight game due to not being able to clear concussion protocol. This is a brutal run for the defender who can't seem to kick injuries, already missing 16 games through injury this campaign. Who will hope to see the field again soon, although a return date is unknown.

Departs with apparent concussion Lindelof left Thursday's EFL Cup match against Tottenham in the first half due to an apparent concussion.

Impact The Swede center-back left the game in the dying moments of the first half and went straight to the locker room, so his status for Sunday's game against Bournemouth should be uncertain. With Matthijs de Ligt (illness) not playing Thursday, Jonny Evans, who replaced Lindelof against the Spurs, could be in line for a bigger role Sunday.

Unused on bench Lindelof (groin) went unused on the bench during Thursday's 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen.

Impact Lindelof was traveling with the team, and as expected got back on the bench. He wasn't deemed fit enough for a spot in the starting XI, and he wasn't called off the bench. Still he appears to be fit once more and should be in for a depth role if he can stay fit moving forward.

Training with the team Lindelof (groin) is training with the team ahead of Thursday's Europa League game against Viktoria Plzen, as reported by Tyrone Marshall.

Impact Lindelof could be a useful option for Ruben Amorim, given the coach's preference for playing with three central defenders. While he may not start in the Europa League, he is expected to see some minutes before Sunday's derby against Manchester City. The Swede has featured in only six games across all competitions this season but could see his playing time increase under the new tactical setup.

Impact Lindelof won't be an option against Nottingham Forest, but could be back as soon as a Thursday trip to Viktoria Plzen. Lindelof is one of multiple center-backs who have returned or nearing a return for United. That's a good sign with new boss Ruben Amorim preferring to use three center-back formations.

Picks up groin issues Lindelof has withdrawn from the Swedish national team after suffering a groin injury, according to his team.

Impact Lindelof has met an unfortunate fate while on international duty, as he has returned to Manchester after suffering a groin injury that led to his early exit and carrying off the pitch. He will undergo tests in the coming days, with more likely to be available soon. He has played in more of a rotational role, so this wouldn't be a major loss, although his absence could grant Jonny Evans or Harry Maguire a bit more playing time.

Active before break Lindelof came off the bench for 45 minutes against Aston Villa before the international break.

Impact Lindelof returned from a toe issue and came off the bench for the injured Noussair Mazraoui (chest). With Mazraoui set to miss at least one match and potentially more, it could be Lindelof who's in for more minutes moving forward. He would be a very defensively-minded right-back if that's where he's asked to fill in.

Available as substitute Lindelof (toe) is in the squad to face Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact Lindelof is available for the first time this season following an injury suffered in preseason. The defender could make his season debut Sunday, but may struggle for minutes behind the pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs De Ligt.

Remains out Lindelof (toe) is out for Sunday's clash with Tottenham, according to manager Erik Ten Hag "No, I don't think so. It will be the same squad as yesterday [Wednesday]."

Impact Lindelof missed out on Wednesday's one-all draw with Twente, and is expected to be out once more. Matthijs De Ligt seems set to make a return to the first team ahead of Sunday's match. With Lindelof out De Ligt is likely to be an even more important part of the first team.

Not ready to return Lindelof (toe) is not in the squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Lindelof remains out despite returning to training in the buildup to Saturday's match. The defender has yet to debut this season and may find it difficult to break into the XI even when fit.
