"Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has to contend with five of his players being unavailable for their visit to Manchester United due to injury. Three of them are key players. Out: Cash, Tielemans and Kamara all started Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Manchester United in December."
"Villa are also without winger Jadon Sancho, who is on loan from Manchester United. He cannot play due to the conditions of the agreement. This makes it six players who will miss the game."
"The Mail reported in late February that Villa were 'hopeful' club captain McGinn could make a return in March, citing the Manchester United fixture as a possible return date."
Manchester United and Aston Villa meet at Old Trafford with both teams level on Premier League points. Villa arrive with significant injury concerns, missing five players including key starters Cash, Tielemans, and Kamara who featured in their December victory over United. Winger Jadon Sancho is unavailable due to loan agreement restrictions. Captain John McGinn, sidelined since January with a knee injury requiring surgery, is a potential return candidate for this fixture. United also face fitness issues following their 2-1 Newcastle defeat. Villa's recent form is poor, losing to Wolves and Chelsea, while United seek to bounce back from their loss.
